why do males like watching sports? Unless they are actively involved (player, coach, ref) , they have no input whatsoever and the result of the match is completely out of their control.
Isn't control a masculinity thing. Wouldn't females be more likely to pin all of their hopes on these male heroes?
>Isn't control a masculinity thing
kek
>implying I don't help my team by yelling in front of the TV
>>66749307
allow me to rephrase:
don't males prefer situations where they are in control? Females go to doctors when something s wrong, knowing it's out of their control but that it's good for them.
males shrug it off and say "itll go away" or, "it's nothing."
>>66749332
this
It's about tribalism, you and your mates from one part of the country going and getting pissed and yelling and some other cunts.
I guess that's lost on sports in USA because it's so dominated by commercialism and trying to force hollywood narratives on everything
>implying I'm not living vicariously as the heroes
I am literally about to have the best nba record of all time
I'm a really good armchair manager tbqhwyf
>>66749335
by that logic i shouldn't watch anything on tv or read anything on the internet, it's all made by other people and thus out of my control
>>66749347
eurocuck pls. sports in the usa work the same as the rest of the world. jews cant be blamed for everything
I only watch MMA and boxing because I want to see violence.
I never watch balls sports and I honestly dont understand how anyone could enjoy any of them they seem so fucking soft and boring.
But I do recognize I am a tiny minority with this opinion.
>>66749378
>Comparing literal franchises to teams that have been built and supported by communities for hundreds of years
>>66749381
i watch the big 3 american sports because i played all of them as a kid. did you get into a lot of fights when you were a kid?
>>66749378
European teams dont up and abandon their fans if they think they can make more money elsewhere
they really arent the same
>>66749381
Child abuse in early ages?
I dont know, I guess we just like seeing competition by the best of the best. I played sports all my life, and not watching sports now would just feel weird.
>>66749378
>muh single entity
>muh franchises
>muh salary cap
>muh draft
>muh college sports
They are nothing alike.
>>66749283
Sports aren't for you. Go play WoW or watch MLP or something.
>>66749377
but if you are learning something, yes you did not write it, but you are enhancing your ability to control.
hence why males dont typically watch dramas or tv shows and stick to sports where their team has an opportunity to "control"
>implying me sitting in the correct position on the couch isn't helping in stopping the opposing team
>>66749419
>tfw I play WoW and love sports
>>66749394
Yes. A lot.
I played basketball all growing up and loved it, but I'm not about to watch some random dudes I dont even know play it. And Im for sure not going to watch a player like Curry just chuck 3s and hope for the best over and over.
If I'm in a basketball mood I'll go play a pick up game at the park, not sit on my ass watching other people play, that shit is so whack to me.
But I shouldnt be surprised, we live in an era where people watch other people play fucking video games, where people watch someone else fuck their wife, where people watch people watch people watching movies.
I dont want to watch other people having fun, I want to do that shit myself. I guess Im not from the right mold for this modern world.
Competition, extension of tribalism, you "relate" with your team and fight/live vicariously through them, same as a general army cheering on their elite champions. You'll notice fans are oftentimes still up for getting into parking lot or stadium brawls.
>>66749283
I actually just have a severe gambling addiction and sports betting allows you to feed your addiction from the comfort of your living room.
>>66749283
because drinking beer and popping pills while watching a blank screen might be seen as weird
>>66749381
this isn't cool 4real
>>66749424
this is bullshit
>>66749526
The winner is from Brazil and one of the greatest champs in the history of the sport.
There is nothing wrong with a mutually agreed upon fight.
>>66749462
are you sure you only watch boxing and mma for raw brutality? is there not a fighter inside you that wants to observe the best fighters in the world fight?
i watch basketball mostly to watch great point-guards direct their team's offense. i was a point-guard, but i was never and would never be in the same league as them.
on an unrelated note,
>I guess Im not from the right mold for this modern world.
i feel the same way every day of my life
>>66749564
>is there not a fighter inside you that wants to observe the best fighters in the world fight?
I definitely want to see that, but not more than I want to see raw combat.
for example I think Georges Saint Pierre was a world class champion and one of the best ever, but I'm seriously not interested in seeing him 'fight.'
Despite the shitty record I'll respect and root for a true fighter like Nick Diaz waaaaaay more than I will for an 'athlete fighter' like Geroges.

What? Are you some sort of retard?
>>66749389
My team is 135 years old, shitposter
>>66750178
What's your "team" then, amerlard?
>>66749424
You learn this shit in school? Or is it the result of brain damage?
>>66750960
I don't know about his team, but the Chicago Cubs have been around since the 1870s. There are a lot of baseball teams that are just as old (if not older) than the top European clubs. Like the New York Yankees, who have been around since 1901 IIRC.
>>66749364
Not to mention being /lifelong/. Feels good m88.
>>66749424
By this logic, by watching sports, I'm learning about the rules and tactics of the games, hence enhancing my ability to "control" and increasing my chances of becoming a manager one day.
Your logic is still retarded, though.
>>66750997

Even your proudest sporting tradition is 70 percent a joke. You have a few real teams with some history on the east cost and in the great lakes area, other than that, it's just garbage.
That is some serious autism if you did all that research yourself.
You can't be everywhere at once, though. Those guys are playing sports at the highest level so you don't have to. That pertains to just about anything else, as well.
But it will never happen while you post on a cambodian hand puppet forum

why do males like watching tv and movies? Unless they are actively involved (writer, director, actor) they have no input whatsoever and the resulting plot is completely out of their control.

>>66751855
You're talking to me, right? Well, autism often ensures that you're correct. Which is all that matters.

Think again.
>>66749283
How's it different from your neckbeard ass watching "e-sports"? Because I guarantee you do.

E-sports is growing really fast and soon will be just as popular as football or soccer worldwide. Why the hate?

Why do Yurosemens think they have some fucking inspirational sports culture because American teams sometimes move?
Nobody gives a fuck about fucking Derbyshire footie club in fucking the 6th division.
I bet at least 15% of soccer fans in Britain are Manchester United supporters. Rich from fucking Arabian oil money.
Fucking cringe
>>66752647
But he said he watches MMA not boxing
>>66752650
Because they don't take into account the fact that top level professional sports is pure business.
>>66752667
Good one!
Male brains are wired for war(defending our women and children) and competition. It's been like that since the beginning of time.

As opposed to Norway's national sport of...?
Skiing?
Depression?
Wishing you were Sweden?
What the fuck do people actually do in Norway?
>>66757582
Well, you mentioned skiing. Which we are the worlds greatest at, all kinds of it too, jumping, cross-country, alpine... you name it and we're the greatest at it. I know no one except for us, the swedes, the finns, the russians, the germans, the swiss, the italians, the french, the austrians, the ukranian and the poles care, but still.
And yeah, we're pretty good at depression. Watch Elling or Oslo, 31 august. We're amazing at depression.
And the swedes wish they were us. We're beating them left and right at everything. Skiing, economy, not being overrun by muslims. You name it.
>What the fuck do people actually do in Norway?
Pump up oil and get stupid rich off of it. Ski a lot. Watch as the swedes bus our tables.
>>66749283
what the fuck are you talking about, fagt
>>66749283
I watch to learn from the best in the world. Try to pick up things from them to practice on to get better. Also to bet on the games for easy money
>>66749332
basically this
>>66751786
you're ignoring the process that it takes for teams to be absorbed into MLB
the west coast had it's pacific coast league since early 1900s before being absorbed later on as a minor league and eventually sprouting a few of its own major teams. I don't know why you expect there to be muh history in MLB when most of the country was pretty much uninhabited before that popularity grew enough to make a proper league
>>66749283
Its fun
>>66757953
Well played Norway. This is why we all like you more than the Swedes.
