The funniest part is if you have ever watched ESPN, the way that the newscasters in between games or whatever the fuck they are debate with each other over teams and players is literally no different than how /a/ talks about waifus. They're hypocrites of the highest caliber, second to SJWs.

Let's be real for a minute- anybody who just watches ESPN off the cuff is a huge fucking faggot who isn't taken seriously by their peer group. Just turning on SPORTSBALL CHANNEL without any specific intent is like putting on a fedora because you saw a movie once. These are the dudes you bully in the breakroom for not having watched [relevant local college game] or attending [best local team home game] or not having any articulate reason for why they supposedly watch any of these games.

These are the kind of cucks who can tell you who Aaron Rodgers is dating or the latest about Deflategate, but they can't name a single wide receiver.

Point being, these aren't normies. These are sad dudes with no friends.

That's what I really don't understand about pro bowling. Almost every single throw looks like it could be a strike before it reaches the pins, yet at least some of the time at least one of the pins stays up by what just looks like happenstance to me, and which pins stay up (how difficult it's going to be to pick up the spare) seems just as esoteric.

Physical activities involve repetitive motions. Those repetitive motions are picked up by your subconscious, thus creating an automated process. That automated process uses up less of your brain than it normally would had you not been so seasoned at it. So what brain activity are you bragging about?

Yes. Fighting games are still enjoyable to normies, but ESPN's target audience is people that have fought in wars so videogames trigger PTSD. Bunch of old people go into panic attacks from seeing their sons playing MGSV or Call of Duty thinking that it's real footage. Can't be showing violence in ESPN.

Media consumption involves concentration. In fact, people with ADD have a harder time watching a movie than completing most of the things you listed as superior activities.

>>345492991
Yes, most activities will stimulate your brain equally. At the end of the day, it is a matter of which activities will activate which part of your brain. At that point you will then have to argue which part of your brain is more worthwhile to stimulate. Considering how essential each part is to daily living, I don't know if I could say any part of the brain is more important than the other. Sure, the loss of certain functions will result in death, but there can be worse things in life than death.
