Mixed on football, but what really pisses me off is when I’m being critical of it and I get a bunch of “🤓 ummm football is actually one of the most complex sports in existence and you’re showing your ignorance. There’s nothing that comes close to such intellectual prowess”
Godamn I really need to move to China, maybe AI will make the language barrier easier to work through
And then football itself is just "bunch of big guys do a running hug so hard they all get brain damage, this goes on for 15 seconds and then there's a half hour commercial break. This continues off and on for 5 hours."
I've been watching for 25yrs. The rules are crazy complex and more complex than chess or any other sport. Complex rules don't make for a smarter game though. Now the rules are getting more complex in the name of player safety.
Smartest sport is definitely Chess Boxing
