Well, I guess it's still better then "have you seen the game last night?"

So, when we compare an artistic expression with characters, point and moral dilemas... And you compare it to 24 guys kicking a ball for an hour.
You seriously believe, that it's more healthy to talk about the ball kicking?
@NEETzsche @ceo_of_monoeye_dating
No, I am talking about all media from Cyberpunk Edgerunners all the way down to She-hulk.
Because literally all of it is an experience, that can be analyzed, or experienced.
On the other hand, Us vs Uk: 8:3 is hardly a datapoint. It was just a few guys playing their favorite sport, while getting payed from the earnings of retarded drunks who don't understand how gambling works.
Again, I'm not a huge fan of sportsball, but I don't have this delusion that it's all just a bunch of bullshit, that it's contentless and idiotic.

No, I absolutely DO understand, that the best players of the best have dedicated their entire life to the game.
That is the players. But the entire aspect of dedication is meaningless once you do look at the fans. They are literally looking at who kicked the ball better. That is meaningless.
I do include an exception for technical sports like F1 or even acrobatics, where you can apreciate some individual acts, but when it comes to football, it's all just "this guy kicks good".
Me personally, I spent most of my youth hanging out in local game stores (like D&D and Magic), comic book stores, and going to various kinds of concerts. I regret not ever learning an instrument or how to otherwise make music
If we're talking about more classical literature etc then I think that's a different story
