Anyone else watch sports now that nerd culture is mainstream? This is the new counterculture, basketball to be precise. Basketball is the world's greatest game.

Yes. I'm a Knicks fan.
basketball is literally normie: the sport
baseball is where it's at

Nope, being a contrarian fuck has never been my thing.
I've watched all sports my entire life. Even shit like golf and tennis or the Olympics. I'm obsessed with watching sports
I watch soccer. Today I watched two matches, for example. I dont care about other sports, though.
I'm not really racist or bigoted but literally niggernormieball, I hate the sport with a passion for absolutely no reason. I don't understand the meta in the slightest and I can't appreciate watching coloreds run up and down a court 200 times. Fuck basketball.
You robots should just stop watching this gay normie shit and go out and play real sports like Episkyros.

Basketball is a lot of fun to watch. It's a game of streaks so it's very interesting to see how a game unfolds, what changes are made, who has the hot hand, who gets the ball in crunch time, etc. And it's in constant movement which is very cool and very different from almost every other sport out there.

Used to watch rassling during attitude era and before it
Now that WWE went to shit I watch basketball. I'm a Sacramento Kings fan myself, also like to watch: Raptors, cavs, and especially Oklahoma Thunder.
Slowly grown to love basketball and wish I discovered it sooner than 2 years ago.

Are there a lot of Europeans on here?
I'm one
>>25108709
Seconded, the sport is actually surprisingly deep and the back and forth action and moments as mentioned above drew me in.
To the guy that hated it: give it a fair chance, it may surprise you. It's far from just shooting a ball at a rim.

Bunch of lanky nigger thugs chasing around a ball for no reason. What do you get out of watching this?

That's not a sport - that's a badly written, poorly acted soap opera for closet homosexuals.
I watch hockey, the jets because I live in Winnipeg. I've played it all my life, and was basically born into it, my dad had me in skates when I was 2 years old (dont even remember learning how to skate).
But regardless of my brainwashing, its still the greatest game bar none, fastest team sport in the world, constant action and the level of skill required to be good is off the charts. Football is alright too, I usually watch and go to CFL games, but NFL is admittedly way better and more skilled
I watch about 5 or 6 different pro wrestling promotions
for those of you who are older (i'm 31) and in the working world, you should STRONGLY consider following a professional sport.
it does wonders for small talk in the business world, and makes you appear normal. i chose NFL, but pick whatever appeals to you.

It resembled something like sport, it also involves extreme athletiscism and I mainly watched it for the high flying and technical wrestling. sidenote: the wrestling is fake but the pain from the bumps is oh so very real.
For closeted homosexuals? What? Are you so uncomfortable with your sexuality that you're afraid it will turn you gay because your mind has wandered off and is staring at one of their pecs 'mirin and wanting?
I mean, if this doesn't qualify as a sport while we're at it can we take darts, golf, curling, cricket and baseball off of the sports list too? I mean some of those guys are a little fat and probably can't play a sport...

You guys are now my niggers, what are your favorite MLB teamsMet fan here
>>25109090
Yeah I'm into NJPW but it kind of slipped my mind at the time of my post, love that shit. Wonder how Jushin is still able to keep this up at 50, it's a mystery to me.
your helpfulness is appreciated regardless anon.
this is true, my friends all together stopped playing football after a lifetime and now we formed a basketball team and play every week

Him and Negro Casas in CMLL are defying age and wisdom. Their pain levels have got to be off the charts
>>25109245
Rondo is giving me faith, the Kings have been looking infinitely better than last year with him running the offense. Only way is up. Also fuck yeah new 'rena!
I don't think it's suffering though, if you're a true masochist you can always become a Clippers fan and feel bitter disappointment year after year.
>>25109292
Yeah I just wonder how they must feel in the morning, that their body even is still capable of walk let alone wrestle. Same goes for Undertaker on a completely unrelated note, dude's been around for ages. Think he'll die in that ring someday.
Mostly baffles me that Liger still looks so athletic, smooth and dynamic. It defies many, many things.

I wouldn't put Taker with Jushin or Negro. He looked like he was ready to fall apart during this last little run he had with Brock and the Wyatts.

>not football
>>25109395
Yeah I'm not comparing them in terms of greatness, more his insanity of still continuing after being seemingly/semi clearly broken down from year in year out wrestling. They're too different to compare so I refrain from that.
>>25109356
Yeah Rondo is a fucking Godsend. Other than Cousins he is clearly the best Kings player we've had in many years. The way he sees the floor is unbelievable and he is playing at a top-notch level
We need to learn how to win on the road though. That fucking game in minnesota the other night was a perfect example of one we should have taken but couldn't due to inexperience in the 4th Quarter. I think we've lost 6 in a row on the road now which needs to change
I don't like sports because it brings back bad memory's about school gym class.
>>25108544
Yeah, maybe if I wanted to fall asleep from absolute boredom. Literally most boring sport I've ever seen apart from chess.

*tips short attention span*
>nerd culture is mainstream
So collecting insects and cataloging them is socially acceptable now? What about chemistry sets and growing crystals? Maybe you're thinking geek culture, which has been hipster pop culture since forever. Things like star wars, bad kung fu movies, comic books, having braces and the like that were seen as childish and unpopular with most working adults have indeed become mainstream, but that's not nerd culture, it's geek (hipster) fandom.
Making your own electronics I'll give you, as long as it's a "clock", but I'm not a hipster, so something getting popular doesn't ruin the activity for me. You're mad about Star Wars being popular, I'm happy about advances in hobbyist electronics getting cheaper.
