"To be fair, pro sports are an obvious waste of valuable time and attention."

Ha ha ha - this is so funny.

If this comment is not satire, then I think I just made my point!

I hope that readers here realize how fairly uncommon (and elitist, i.e. everyone is obviously wasting their time) this kind of statement is. Surely, a lot of people don't like pro-sports, but most are not so antagonist about it.

My gosh, if you want to connect with people from anywhere, the first thing you can do is talk about sports!

I only wish I cared about sports, it would be so much easier on sales calls and hanging out with regular people!

Exactly the social crutch I was lamenting. This phenomenon is indeed real, and it’s pathological.


pretty sure that was a joke
