I DON'T UNDERSTAND IT, THEREFORE IT IS BAD!!!

[–]Ken_ny 19 points20 points ago

Seriously, I hate people like the ones pictured in this post.

[–]All_the_rage 5 points6 points ago

I wholeheartedly agree.

[–]Ken_ny 4 points5 points ago

It's so easy to try and reduce things down to make them sound stupid.

[–]All_the_rage 6 points7 points ago

It's also easy to hate something you don't agree with and have no experience with.

[–]Zomodok 6 points7 points ago

easily replaced with LOL WII IS HORRIBLE

NO THE XBOX IS HORRIBLE AND THE WII IS GREAT

HEY GUYS PS3 HERE JUST WANTING YOU TO KNOW I EXIST

[–]CyaNBlu3 1 point2 points ago

Or.... BF3 is awesome, MW3 is for campers and noobtoobers etc etc. This argument can be easily replaced with many things.

[–]HW_Plainview 42 points43 points ago

A redditor bashing sports? How original!

[–]ShitOnYourMom 27 points28 points ago

"I just don't understand the point of people pretending to care about some fake battle where someone tries to score more points than the other side."

[–]Whodatjedi5 13 points14 points ago

That bothers me so much. People like sports. Everyone has their own interests! Why does it bother so many people? I love sports, and my teams I follow.

[–]chenobble 3 points4 points ago

I think (from an outsider point of view) it's the fact that certain sports get so much media coverage, money and respect - way out of line with that which many think it deserves. It's a similar situation to fashion, it-girls and reality TV.

[–]whatlad 0 points1 point ago

nah, it's not at all. sport is more than fluff, but i can see how it would look that way to an outsider

[–]chenobble 0 points1 point ago

Maybe not the it-girls, but people put a lot of time and effort into, eg. TV talent shows; there are people on there with genuine talent and experienced coaches, there's a competitive element - it's very similar to a sport in many ways.

[–]whatlad -1 points0 points ago

i'm from europe, where religion doesn't infringe on my freedom... so i take your point, but i think on this matter you can't fight fire with fire, you have to not fight so that you can maintain the moral high ground

[–]chenobble 1 point2 points ago

Did you reply to the wrong comment? :D

[–]whatlad 0 points1 point ago

yes!! lol

[–]kahunaxmike 1 point2 points ago

these words immediately popped in my head

[–]KageG213 5 points6 points ago

Without fail, any time the super bowl rolls around, the world cup, stanley cup, there's the one asshole on facebook "LOL SPORTS ARE DUMB!"

[–]WaywardSpaniard 14 points15 points ago

THIS IS WHERE I YELL "SHAMELESS REPOST".

[–]Carpadarp -1 points0 points ago

AND I YELL, "IT WAS FUNNY THE FIRST TIME TOO"

[–]internetsanta 0 points1 point ago

AND I YELL, "NO IT WASN'T"

[–]baitingforyears 9 points10 points ago

This reminds me of a Brian Regan comedy bit.. ~ 1:06

[–]FreshFruitCup 1 point2 points ago

Nice find, I knew it reminded of that bit, would never have been able to remember his name... It's spelled "bri#6~€%!!!"

[–]snickles19 0 points1 point ago

look at my name tag... its big.

[–]Nova11 2 points3 points ago

Brian regan is the best

[–]the_Bombadil 8 points9 points ago

Why do so many redditors hate sports?

[–]krejci46[S] 3 points4 points ago

It IS possible to find this conversation funny while also being a sports fan.

[–]Dalek-Caan 1 point2 points ago

No kidding.. at least when people make fun of how gamers act I laugh, because its fucking true. No on can deny the accuracy of your post, people just like getting butt hurt over jokes.

[–]RandyMFromSP 0 points1 point ago

The age-old battle of jocks v. nerds..

[–]TempScootaloo 4 points5 points ago

GO REDDIT POST, BEAT OUT THE OPPOSING REDDIT POSTS

[–]ItsMylesNotMiles 0 points1 point ago

NO, MY REDDIT POST IS FAR SUPERIOR.

[–]gnarlysaurus 2 points3 points ago

How about them Piggers?

[–]Sol_Ring 0 points1 point ago

Piggers are number one! Piggers are gonna go all the way this year!

[–]devourke 3 points4 points ago

GO COMMENT, GET 3 OR 4 UPVOTES

[–]Dalek-Caan 1 point2 points ago

I downvoted you to keep you within range. Don't want to make a liar out of you. :)

[–]dontrlyknow -3 points-2 points ago

Have mine, i lol'd.

[–]A_WILD_ABRA_APPEARED 1 point2 points ago

This can be applied to anything.

Also, it's pretty clear that the guys commenting on the status actually know a bit about American sports and are probably fans.

[–]darklab 1 point2 points ago

Oh no!!! awkward basement nerd doesnt care for sports.. what do?

[–]krejci46[S] 1 point2 points ago

Considering my username, I think its quite obvious that I do, in fact, care for sports. ;)

[–]darklab 1 point2 points ago

can you please take back your downvote?? :( it made me sad

[–]krejci46[S] 0 points1 point ago

Only since you asked so nicely.

[–]Dalek-Caan 0 points1 point ago

As someone who doesn't care for sports I have no idea what the hell your username means. I'm sure it's something clever though.

[–]krejci46[S] 1 point2 points ago

Krejci is a hockey player, 46 is his number. Point being, darklab's comment is invalid.

[–]UrbtoOSU 0 points1 point ago

Go to ESPN's comment boards and you'll find a billion of these conversations. That being said you can find these type of meaningless converations on reddit about other topics. People love to debate and argue, just not always about the same things.

[–]17Hongo 0 points1 point ago

Why the fuck do I remember that this is a repost? It was over a year ago. Seriously.

[–]rco8786 0 points1 point ago

Is this any different than arguing about BF vs COD or console vs PC or any two things that groups of people like yet have no control over?

[–]skippingape 0 points1 point ago

so good!

[–]CosmicBard 0 points1 point ago

I hear they've been defeating opposing team since the year of the team's creation!

[–]bill5125 0 points1 point ago

[–]NoSubrannke 0 points1 point ago

I don't have anything against someone liking sports, but I have never understood the arbitrary dedication to a sports team. I don't know those people. I don't care what they do with their lives. And if they win a championship because they did something with a ball, I don't see how it affects me.

[–]grindinghalt 0 points1 point ago

[–]Dokbokki 0 points1 point ago

There's always the one who 'broadcasts' the scores of a game currently going on.

[–]weeweasel 0 points1 point ago

Sports arguments are like watching two homeless people fight over an empty cigarette packet.

[–]ss5gogetunks 0 points1 point ago

Go team that is geographically located nearest to me!! BOO team from opposing town!!!

[–]jwastintime 0 points1 point ago

I'll just leave this here

[–]SneekyMAN 0 points1 point ago

I suggest all you fine young redditors who have a serious aversion to sports check out a booming sport called mixed martial arts. It is a beautiful spectacle where men and women put everything on the line.

[–]Wetmelon 0 points1 point ago

Relevant (and perhaps even more humorous?)

[–]Dominiking 0 points1 point ago

Rape charges must be a Lakers or Steelers fan.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

My thought exactly. It's got to be the Steelers.

[–]Persica 0 points1 point ago

I wish these two People were my Facebook friends.

[–]etbjhmfghorsdqr -2 points-1 points ago

fucking hipsters

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points ago

It's kind of depressing that I got into arguments like this all the time when I had facebook. Fuckin' Tim was always picking fights.

[–]MisterKrayzie 0 points1 point ago

Maybe you shouldn't scratch your balls and smell them, Kyle.

[–]MadMan920 -3 points-2 points ago

also politics.
