how fucking obsessed can you become with a strategy game where players try to kick a ball into a net? knowing players, managers, i mean what the fuck?

Sports are a very good source of teamwork skills and quick thinking.

I never watched ball-in-goal sports...

The way you put it into perspective, it's a simple sport, so why the big deal? Just like the rock paper scissors chanpionships:



However when there's money to be made (and there IS a lot to be made) people will do anything.

I disagree. Sports are a very good source of teamwork skills and quick thinking for everyone. And that's real talk.

well, to be fair, how obsessed can someone get with a video game to the point where they know individual statistics of almost every pokemon?

but i agree to an extent, i dont get how people can find sports a stimulating enough thing with which to occupy themselves.

Pssh. For some people... it's their thing baby! Some people are obsessed over music, some people are obsessed over a sport, some people are obsessed over Twilight (the pitiful fools), it's natural for humans to obsess. Samantha Hickford, you WILL complain about anything won't you?

I love sports. They help me relieve stress as well as give me a good sense of life values. Through sports I've learned how hard work always outdoes relying on just pure talent.
