hear me out ... i don't even really fully understand the rules of football, and i think the culture of the nfl is kind of abhorrent, but the CFL and all it's humble, genuineness has made me a fan. the rules are slightly different from nfl football so it's a little less slow and an objectively better sport to watch. i don't watch regularly, but when i do catch a montreal alouettes game i find myself LOCKED IN it's so entertaining. last night the als were down 25 -7 and then in like the last five minutes on the clock they came back and won. the last half hour of that game was GRIPPING. and i dont even understand the game. imagine if i did.

🏈super bowl is this weekend and i’m outing myself as a football fan. but fr shouting go sportsball past the age of 15 is super lame and you should totally get invested in sports and more specifically the nfl. mostly bc american football is such a stupid sport and the rules make no sense but you prob already know a little (like what a touchdown is) and the rest is sorta just arbitrary. i’ve been following the nfl since i was like 8 or 9 bc that’s how me and my dad bonded and it’s really a saving grace in any conversation with a man. idk how to explain it but american football strikes the most perfect balance of interesting game and good bonding experience with fans…the european mind cannot even begin to grasp. heavily heavily recommend.

I’m obsessed with this football team. When they win I’m happy. When they lose my day is totally fucked. This past season was particularly tough. We lost like five games in the last few seconds. It was brutal. But the future is bright because we have Caleb Williams, a star QB who paints his fingernails. Growing up in Chicago my dad was a big Bears fan. He would throw shit at the TV and get pissed. It’s probably in my blood. I appreciate football because it’s a true team sport. All eleven guys on the field need to contribute in order to succeed. I was on my high school team and I rode the bench, but our team went 11-1 in both my junior and senior years. It was my first time being part of something successful. We once had a game where 10,000 people attended. The whole town shut down it was insane. CLTV helicopters were there. We were a small school, but a lot of our guys got college scholarships, and one guy went to the NFL. So uh yea, football rules (minus the CTE). Da Bears.
