Top of Reddit right now is some white asshole who got a ball in a hole bestest of all.
I come to Lemmy & this is on top of my All feed. Much better.
I understand that “sportsball” is incredibly unpopular here on lemmy because yall are a bunch of nerds, but rory mcilroy accomplished something today that is extremely unusual and deserves recognition.
Luigi also accomplished something extremely unusual that deserves recognition, but he didn’t do it today.
It’s more like an illustration of Reddit turning into a useless bunch of fluff. I don’t know anything about golf or that guy, it just happened to be the top fluff when I posted.
I love sports, especially combat sports, and have participated in lots of sports. I played (actually more sat on the bench) sports at a D1 college. But I understand and respect that lots of people DGAF about sports. Because I DGAFF about golf. It is a stupid bougie game, not a sport, and wastes a lot of resources. So I understand that folks don’t like sports in general.
Indeed, I find Sportsball not terribly interesting, and think it gets too much pride of place in news media (not being able to separate Sports from “Breaking News” push notifications on the Guardian app back when I had it, comes to mind. Grumble, grumble).
I don’t begrudge anyone who enjoys it though. Everyone has their own interests!
For selfish reasons, I’m pretty glad Lemmy isn’t terribly interested. It saves me from having to filter out the biggest sports communities like I had to on Reddit.
I like real sportsball. But, you’re talking about golf. I don’t know or care who rory macrory is and I couldn’t care less. Golf isn’t a real sport, it’s dudes walking around on a pretty lawn then occasionally whacking something with a club.
And yet, this is top on Lemmy. Maybe because you don’t get banned for mentioning Mario’s brother here.
I mean that’s fair Reddit is balls. I just don’t get the weird sportsball energy from this guys comment.
