my father said you are gay if you don't like sports and you read books.

    It's not that I don't like sports, I don't understand it.

    There seems to be plenty of money in the sport. Why can't they just BUY another ball and give one ball to BOTH teams?

    I vividly remember my dad telling me football was "too complicated" to explain and so I just assumed it was some mystical unknowable sport and checked out of any conversation involving it.

    It wasn't until I was like 25 that I put any effort into understanding the sport and like... He could have just told me "we want the guys in blue to get the ball and run to the other side" and then we could have bonded over that. Weird thing to be lazy about as a dad.

    Practically every sport can be boiled down to “2 groups of people disagreeing where a ball should go”.
