Originally posted by r0ckstarr I hate football. The crazy lunatic fans annoy me. The one's who'll start a fist fight with the guy next to them because they didn't like the play annoy me. Especially the one's who yell at the TV and get completely angry when the team they like loses. Even more especially, the fan's who's day is completely ruined, and they act all depressed when their favorite team loses. Texas has a butt-ton of those fans.
I like auto racing. Sadly, the only thing shown here is NASCAR and the occasional Indy race. NASCAR fans are a little better. They'll be all like:
Did you see the race yesterday?
Yeah, Biffle wasn't racing his best, but Jr. had a bad string of luck the whole race.
....and then the subject changes to something totally different.
I totally agree about the football thing. Since the local team here has finally made Seattle proud to have a pro ball team it seems like everyone is now a rabid "Twelfth Player". You see it everywhere, and on everyone.
Even the company I am now working for spent a buttload of money painting a 747 freighter with the team livery and the number 12 on the tail.
As for motor racing, I also agree, and really miss Speedvision. When it first started there was racing on 24-7, from all over the world. Near the end it had become the NASCAR channel. I enjoy NASCAR, but would rather watch sports car racing. The 24 hour race from the Nurburgring is something to see, and the German Touring Car Championship make the NASCAR boys look like amateurs.
