[Keeping It Simple]

Is there a reason why the beer drinkers fave thing to watch on TV is hardly mentioned on this board?

There are many threads about the ridiculous and sub-moronic world of Spectator Team Sports all over this board.
I still come here anyway.

I play murderball.

When they finally bring back the Circus Maximus (it's only a matter of time), maybe then I'll tune in.

Are Sonic Youth Mets or Yankees fans?

I drink beer, and I watch almost anything on TV.

Do you drink beer whilst watching "Murder, She Wrote"?

[gualbert]

No. What's that?
Is it any good?

To be honest, the majority of people I've met who are sonic youth fans are not really into sports. A couple are, but for there to be sports threads here, they would need to be into sonic youth, sports, AND the internet. Which is quite a niche group....

so, that's probably why.

Cricket gets some mentioning from time to time.

Soccer, I mean football, too.

I'm not sure what's in it though, I've never looked.

I tend to find that sport is something people do in the real world rather than on the internet. I do quite a bit of sport, and watch a fair bit as well, but... I just don't feel the need to talk about it. Especially as most indie kids are usually scared of a bit of exercise.

Drone: you're a cyclist. Categorically the most sanctimonious of all sporting people.

[phoenix]

I'm not scared of exercise, I went for a half hour run today. Just.. watching team sports. No.

so many other things I'd rather be doing.

Watching team sports is a different thing to partaking. But I honestly don't see how watching people competing at the top of their game is any different to watching someone be very good at playing an instrument. The latter isn't competitive (necessarily) but it's really not that different.

I've seen some of the best classical musicians in the world, but none of them amaze me in quite the way, say, Ntini does.

[phoenix]

I'm not sure I often go to watch people play instruments, I usually go to listen.

But when I go to watch/hear that, for me it is a very different experience because there is no competition involved. There is a high from it, probably the end result for people who go to see different things is the same. It just depends on what your body likes, no?

i completely agree. people make it sound like watching athletes is for idiots but watching some guy play with with his fuzz pedal is the best possible thing to do.

if people like music then obviously they're going to watch it, i don't see the need to act like a very similar activity is moronic, admittedly if you go to bar and watch sports there will most certainly be a large amount of morons present
