Like for example, obviously I’m a sports fan, but through all of sports the one thing I love watching more than anything is great baseball pitchers. Watching how much movement they can put on a ball is just fun to watch.

I’ll watch like a clip of people doing “crazy” things like mailing a difficult shot, or some other high skill play.
But I could not care less about team culture, league culture, specific players/coaches, championships, W/L records, etc.
Even the Olympics all I care about is the sportsmanship of the world coming together to compete fairly as a show that outside politics we can all get along for this event. But I don’t care about watching any of it, I just like the humanity of it.
Sports can bring out great does of skill, but I just wish it wasn’t such a default small talk thing. People will get mad at each other at work for liking the wrong team and they’ll rag on each other about issues that none of them have a hand in.
Like… Just like it privately. It shouldn’t be such a huge part of your personality. I shouldn’t know who you like while actively trying to stay out of any and all discussion about it.
