I only listen to radio broadcasted boxing matches from the 30s. All this modern stuff is just appalling!

I only watch football from the era they wore no jockstraps. Those were real men.

If it ain’t fifth row colosseum, gladiators being eaten by lions after being soaked by a reproduction of the Peloponesian War I ain’t watchin’!!

People responding with "this game hasn't happened yet"; yes it has. All games have happened already. Time all happens simultaneously, just open your mind

I only watch foreign black & white football with subtitles.

The black and white foot ball in question

I watch a lot of tennis, but chronologically. I'm up to 1984, please don't spoil what's happening now.

I only watch football games from the 2060s and 2070s

please, o wise time traveller, do the bills ever win a superbowl?

moll.dev•30 days ago

same for baseball, you’re telling me that watching Barry Bonds ripping balls, absolutely loaded up on the gear isn’t more entertaining?

They should fire all of the current footballers and bring back the guys from back then.

I’m a Vikings fan…we didn’t win and I don’t want to revisit those losses (I was 3 months old the last time they lost). I’d hoped Buffalo would have went the the Super Bowl and lost (so they’d own the losses record), but I didn’t get what I wanted.

I'm even seeing this behaviour with Posts now, its sickening

I only care anymore about watching silly shit on secret base.

Catching up on football so I know what's going on, where should I start

atbrown165.bsky.social•30 days ago

You also had the AFL NFL rivalry

kykrebs.bsky.social•30 days ago

i’m just worried if i start watching football now that i wont know what’s going on since i haven’t seen the last several dozen/hundred seasons :/

And why don’t children gouge their own eyes out anymore? These kids are soft, bro

theariessanders.bsky.social•30 days ago

But … the camera work is so far away! 😂 no but seriously… I think people love anticipation, not knowing who will win…

chillmun.bsky.social•30 days ago

this is why I can’t get into football: in order to really understand the dynamics and plot lines I’d need to start watching from the very beginning of the league in 1920 or whatever and I don’t have time for that

1860s to get the full story from the beginning. You underestimated the job by 60 years. If you don't know CW Alcock led Wanderers to the 1872 FA Cup none of the rest makes sense.
