spending 90% of my time talking sports on the hoops, baseball, and soccer forums and then venturing into the football forum is wild. you’ll go weeks posting on those more niche forums and never see any kind of huge spat, and then you venture over into the football forum and it’s like walking into the cafeteria from dangerous minds. just a bunch of angry, confused, hormonal people looking for an outlet for their uncontrollable feelings.
i mean it seriously feels like you’re trying to converse with high school aged kids in that forum. when you see a disagreement on the baseball forum it’s like, “nah, he can’t keep pitching like this all season, it’s unsustainable.” then you see a disagreement on the football forum and the response is, “LULZ, what the fuck are you even talking about lmao, he fucking sucks you idiot! lmaooooo” with 7 pos reps and 4 laughing emojis.
i’ve been posting on the football forum more than normal lately, and my ignore list has gone from one person to six people. honestly, i don’t know how you football forum regulars do it. there are plenty of posters there who have great insights and earnest intentions, but they’re just drowned out by the, again, 1990’s inner city high school cafeteria energy which permeates the entire forum. for all the shit talk about the CR, the CR is light years ahead of the football forum when it comes to mature, earnest discussions. crazy but true.
