Countless effeminate little gayboys first learned they were considered detestable freaks during grade school P.E. class. The regular guys used every sportsball game as an opportunity to insult and assault us without mercy. In result, lots and lots of gay men (even if they sexually fetishize jocks!) have exactly zero interest in competitive sports and would rather watch even the worst high school production of Hello Dolly! than The Big Game.
Haha you really take disliking something to its limits, The Art of the Diss 😂 I mean, reading all of these books on sport??! That sounds terrible and shows amazing commitment! You need to get this book published and then give lectures on how to really hate something :))
This was a great lol moment: "So I don’t yell for my team, drive a big truck, or have a chainsaw in the garage"
i don’t hate sports, although i was traumatized by it in childhood. there just has never been a place in my brain for it. carlos alcaraz has sparked an interest in tennis, of course, and the las culturistas spin-off podcast about the olympics provides the human context, color, and narrative that clicks with me.
The night the Giants won the World Series, I was in the Roxie watching a 4-hour documentary about Boyd Rice.
Not a lot of Venn diagram audience overlap there...

So entertaining!
Ha, thanks Olga! My ossified views will soften in later installments. Spoiler alert!
Oh no don't tell me you've become a sports fan! I know story arcs and I can almost see it, but I've refuse!
Not to worry — still not a fan!
whew!
That article was a slam dunk, Jack. ("slam dunk" being an emphatic shot often celebrated in basketball)
Oh, so THAT'S what that means!
Yep! Up top, bro!
wow, Aristotle with the stealth burn!
one copy, please.
Hi Joe, I would love to get this published...let's see how substack likes the following segments!
i would love to see it published, too. i’ll share it with my (few remaining) publisherish contacts. 🏆
“Oh God, no” 😆💐
The tedium of sports fandom is why God made record collecting.
