    Okie here. It’s hard not being all the fuck about sports. I like football. I played football in school. But it doesn’t constitute the majority of my personality. My granddad ALWAYS has OU games on. It doesn’t matter if they’re #2 or #22 or got beat by Kansas. It doesn’t matter if they’re playing in the Rose Bowl or the Clorox™ Toilet Bowl. He’s practically consumed by it. I don’t understand it. I love going to the games. You go for the long walk in a loud crowd to end up inside and overpay for a shitty beer that gets warm in five minutes (because it’s 97 degrees), and after enduring all that, your guys might still lose. It actually kinda rocks.

    But I prefer concerts. I get to dance to my favorite songs and watch my favorite aging 90s rockers put on a show for cheap because they haven’t been big in 20 years. A concert hardly goes south. But nobody shows up to the water cooler on Monday and goes, “How about that Weezer concert?”

    It gets pretty awkward having to tell people you didn’t watch the game because sports is just not important to you.
