Alpo Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 "Pretend to root for a team I'm not even on". That's me. I have never understood watching sports. I used to play sports. I played tennis, I played golf, I played baseball, I played football. I even played soccer a few times. And I enjoyed them every time I played them. But watching someone else play them? And getting all excited and jumping up and down and yelling and screaming, and painting my face in team colors??? I don't get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Riot Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 Me and Maya would get along just fine. I couldn’t care less about football…basketball…baseball…hockey…cricket…etc. I would rather watch paint dry…seriously. For those that think I am weird…Bless yer hearts… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister Badly Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 I played football from when I was 6 until 20. I love football but don't particularly enjoy watching it. The Detroit Lions helped do that. But I do enjoy attending football parties and having snacks and beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subdeacon Joe Posted December 26, 2021 Author Share Posted December 26, 2021 I'm watching the Rams v. Vikings game and just saw a commercial touting the "San Diego Credit Union Holiday Bowl." Good grief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpo Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 I don't see the problem. There used to be a Rose bowl and a Orange bowl and a sugar bowl and a Cotton bowl, and who knows what else bowl. And somebody had to pay for them. Now apparently the San Diego credit Union is paying for one, so they call it the San Diego credit Union bowl. I seem to recall, some years back, stock car race called The Winston Cup. Because, I assume, Winston cigarettes sponsored it. They don't have the Winston Cup anymore, because cigarettes are bad, mmm'kay. But what's the difference between the Winston Cup and the San Diego credit Union bowl?

Dawg Hair, SASS #29557 Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 Ok, I'll confess, I love the South. Don't ever want to leave it. But, I don't like NASCAR (it bores me to death), football, basketball, soccer (is that really considered a sport?), golf, or any spectator sport. I'd rather watch the grass grow.

At least once during every round of golf that I play, when a fellow competitor makes a good putt I say, “Good weight!!” It’s fun when he indicates that he understands the compliment.

MizPete Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 Some of y'all just ain't right. I don't care for professional football, with a couple of exceptions, but college ball? It matters. A lot. And that includes ACC basketball. It's not as good since they let all those schools from states without an AC in, but it still matters. I have personally seen it bring a pleasant family Thanksgiving dinner to a schreeching halt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because, I assume, Winston cigarettes sponsored it. They don't have the Winston Cup anymore, because cigarettes are bad, mmm'kay. But what's the difference between the Winston Cup and the San Diego credit Union bowl? Actually, the race (one race only) used to be called The Winston. The entire race series for the year was called the Winston Cup Series with points accumulated from all of the races run during that year, not including The Winston or an all-star race at Daytona run at the beginning of the year.. The Winston was an all-star race that featured previous race winners and was usually run the weekend before Memorial Day at Charlotte although it was run at other venues. When tobacco advertising was banned from most major sporting events in the US, RJ Renolds (manufacture of Winston cigarettes) was granted a finite time to end their sponsorship and naming rights of NASCAR and other sporting events. Other tobacco manufactures were afforded the same grace periods. The difference between Winston Cup name and company logos or names is simply that the Feds wanted to eliminate advertising, in any shape/form/fashion, of tobacco related products. They accomplished their goal by outlawing most tobacco type advertising in all professional and amateur sports. I'm not standing up for the tobacco industry or their products, but it is an age restricted legal product in the US that has been denied the opportunity to advertise their product. Most people don't have a problem with that...but what if the Feds felt the same about firearms? As to Shameful Southern Secrets, I guess that scenario is true at most gatherings. Some are sports fans and some aren't. I used to be a rabid NASCAR and pro football fan, now...not so much. Still will watch NASCAR on occasion but the NFL can kma.

I didn't say I watched professional sports either. The only sports I'm halfway interested in is baseball. That's all. I much prefer the college world series of baseball over the "professional" games any day of the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
