The NFL. Really? Two games on Christmas? Multiple games on Christmas Eve? Go fuck yourselves.
I mean you can just say NFL in general. Ruins a good chunk of the year hearing about it during work discussions.
No, I will never care about a sport, and especially not overpaid assholes who play it for more money in a couple minutes than I will ever make in years, or more in one game than I will ever see in one place ever.
If I had a genie I would change culture so sports got moved to the same category as politics and religion so you'd never hear about it if you weren't around scumbags.
I also don't care in the slightest who's winning in a huge stadium.
I've found that a blank stare when they get to the punch line of their dramatic sports story usually ends the whole thing. You're meant to react big to every story, so zero reaction throws people off when they want to talk sports.
This is genius.
