Exercise is for women.
People at work won't shut up about the Blue Jays. Nobody has said shit about baseball ever but now all of a sudden there's this expectation to be the biggest Jays homer fan either, even though I probably haven't watched a baseball game since the last time the Jays were in the World Series.

I have even noticed it myself, I have become jaded and cynical of 'the current thing'. Canada the nation is basically underground at this point. The superficial anti-American sentiment is tiresome, and if Canada is simply Tim hortons, beavers and hockey (or a baseball team) then it's not much of anything. We are told to hate our own culture and people so this fake nationalism we see today (elbows up, lol) just makes me puke because its obvious to me that most old stock Canadians that are still around have no idea what was left for them and why it's here in the first place. I know so many out of touch boomers that must be living in some sort of fantasy world because it sure as shit ain't reality.

Condensed convo with a boomer that I know:

"You hear Trump is demolishing the White House for a BaLLRoOm?!!"

"Yes, so what? What does that have to do with Canada? Presidents make changes all the time, btw. You think it always had a rose garden and a bowling alley?"

"But he's destroying his nation's historical legacy!!!1!one!!"

"Since when do Canadians care about historical legacy? Didn't you tell me last week that the Red Ensign was a hate symbol?"

"..."

"Keep cashing those OAS cheques. I won't ever get one thanks to your generation."

I think baseball is so boring to watch, I do not care about the bLuE jAyS. I actually have not watched professional sports for at least 20 -26 years. No interest at all anymore.

Most games are only worth watching in person so you can take breaks for concessions and beer.

I read only one Blue Jay actually has ties to Canada. I think that pretty much sums up the state of affairs.
 
Because Baseball is America's game.
Canadians mostly don't give a shit about Baseball.

It's the same how the Florida Panthers team that won the stanley cup this year has more Canadians on it than Americans.
 
Baseball is a sport for nerds and/or old men, and since I happen to fit both of those descriptions I find it to be the least annoying major sport in North America. But I still would never watch the 150+ games that the average MLB team plays in a regular season: what a waste of fucking time that would be.

Even soccer, which I've been watching since childhood, has started to pall on me throughout the years -- in the unlikely event that your favourite team wins a major tournament, next year it all just starts again anyway, so what's the point? I still enjoy watching the game for aesthetic reasons, i.e. for the incredible skills on display at the highest levels, but in practice this means only the World Cup (which takes place every four years) and the end stages of European club championships

@ayn_rands_ghost my littlest had a coach that asked what they love doing with their dad. One of the kids said nothing all his dad did was sit on the couch and watch sports. Dad wasnt even there to watch him play his own sons game.

I felt so bad for that kid. This is what the world is turning to this is the hell of our world.

Covid hoax raged but as long as people had the sports on the tv it was still ok. Fook the sports watchers and the subscribers.

Honestly i want off this rock but God has plans for me and i cant wait till i am unleashed

@Hirudinea Well the nice thing about sports is that you don't have to "watch" the whole game to know what happened.
You can basically glance at it once and awhile, see the score, the highlights get shown in replays.

You can watch like 10% of a game and still know what happened and have something to talk about with others.
That's why sports are good for parties, or at bars, You don't have to pay full attention to it.
I was never a "sports guy" but I started watching them in college just because it's an easy conversation starter, a way to socialize with people then leads to other topics.
 
Baseball is the best sport there is. Simple as that. It’s not boring at all. Who could say a game 7 winner take all that was decided by a monster homer is boring?

Watching the Jays bury the Yankees and Mariners was nail biting all the way.

There’s so much to talk about with baseball. I could talk for hours on the best pitchers ever, baserunning, and so on.

Usually the people who don’t like baseball never played it or just don’t understand it.

Well it is the American White House, isn't it? Isn't it their problem?
 
"But Trump! Blump! Drumpf! Why don't you hate Blonald Blumpf as much as I fucking do and want to talk about him constantly reeeeeeeeeee???"

All of the "elbows up" bullshit in the world can't conceal the fact that Canadian minds have been completely colonized by America and its politics
 
In all fairness, it's been 32 years since the jays got to the world series, so I can appreciate how far they've come, and the determination they showed in their series against the Mariners. Baseball is, in my opinion, either the most boring or most intense sport you can watch....in the regular season the stakes aren't high, and I didn't even watch the Jays play until I heard they were actually doing well and got into the ALCS - but now - the world series, why wouldn't people want to root for their team. It's nice to have people come together to support the Jays because they do deserve the encouragement/applause, at least given their recent accomplishments

Not a hardcore sports fan by any means, but I believe in giving credit where it's due

See, I just don't get this at all. They are just a bunch of millionaires that probably aren't even Canadian, and their organization likely forced their employees to take the jab.

If your argument is 'don't be so serious, just enjoy the sport' that's cool. But I don't think professional athletes contribute much to our society, in fact they help distract people like bread and circuses are engineered to do.


apologies for doomer take, but everything is just fake and gay.
 
In the regular season the stakes aren’t high? The Jays won their division, the best record in the league, and home field advantage, by just 1 game. That’s it. 1 game. They got to skip round 1 because of it. They are hosting the World Series because of that 1 game. It’s truly amazing how 162 games were and just 1 game up meant the world.
 
This afternoon I was watching the highlights of a hard-fought English Premier League game between a relatively small side and a much more wealthy and successful one, and it seemed obvious to me that the referee was trying to give the big club every advantage that he could get away with: ignoring obvious fouls, adding on excessive amounts of extra time when the underdogs were ahead, etc. But in the end the smaller club won anyway.

We have to remember that, although huge amounts of money are being placed in bets on all major games worldwide and certain officials and players are almost certainly being offered huge amounts of cash to throw them, it isn't all fake because getting 25+ people per game to cooperate in fixing any particular match isn't easy -- even the White Sox scandal of 1919 was quickly exposed. There's a reason why rigged sports normally involve one-on-one matchups such as in boxing or (notoriously) wrestling, because there are far fewer people who need to be corrupted
 
Rah rah team Canada, but no one bothers to look at the roster. This isn’t your home town heros.

I make it a point of not knowing anything going on with professional sports. If someone talks baseball or other sports with me, I'll say "I don't follow any pro leagues, but I am up for going to a betting cage or kicking a ball around with my kids or friends."

Following or paying to watch other men who are getting paid millions to play kids games is stupid. All the leagues are enabling degeneracy today also. Occasionally I may watch some world cup games every few years, but even then, I feel stupid after burning a couple hours when I could be more productive.

Of course one should be judicious where you share your true thoughts. I'm not going to tell a boss that loves NFL it's for gays to watch men in tights; I'm just not going to say anything. Also when I do share my true thoughts, I try not to be too defamatory. The guys following all these sports are normally decent people; they're just a bit brainwashed.

My wife would say it's just a hobby like other forms of entertainment people consume. Which of course is true. But there is just something about it being entertainment involving others men doing athletics you could enjoy on your own that rubs me the wrong way.

I wouldn't say it's stupid...maybe if your state of mental health is based on the success of the Jays (or Leafs, or Raptors, whatever), then yeah there's an issue. But once in a while, watching and appreciating the athleticism that many of these players (are being paid to) demonstrate doesn't hurt.

As someone who loves sports, I understand the preference to actually play games instead of watching them. In fact, that's what I've been doing the entire spring/summer - playing sports. It was only when the Jays got into the ALCS that I watched a few games, partly because it was one of the few neutral things that I could just enjoy watching with my family.

I think at the end of the day, people just have to find balance. If a person spends most of their time creating/learning/producing/working, etc, then consuming a bit of mindless entertainment once in a while doesn't make them unproductive. We all need to just sit back and chill every now and then, otherwise we'd burn ourselves out. So long as we remain aware of the underlying messages and "bread and circus" methodologies used to placate the masses, I personally don't find much harm in enjoying the odd game with friends. We just have to keep our emotional and mental health separate and look at things objectively through the lens of sport - "wow that was a good play", "excellent catch", "this player has been doing really well"

A bunch of non-Canadians playing niggerball are doing it for all of us. God speed you brave subhumans! DO US PROUD!
 
"niggerball"

MLB is 60% white American, so it's hardly as bad as the NBA. I would agree that sports teams have by now lost all connection to their local fan bases -- Glasgow Celtic football club for example won the 1967 European Cup with players who were entirely from Glasgow, but today the same team is a heterogenous mix of largely foreign players -- but then again the local fan bases themselves are also being largely diluted by newcomers, so it's all part of the same overall problem.

If we treat sports as occasional entertainment and nothing more then there's no harm in it, but identifying with one's team on a tribal level is idiotic. I'd prefer the Jays win, but if they lose then so what? Life goes on, just as it did in the 32 years since they last won the World Series. It's all just spectacle, but if you treat it as such you can enjoy it for what it's worth and not invest it with any greater significance than it needs to have

brutana_dilewskiPerfect.
 
Jays fan here; as you would expect the “Toronto” has come full out, new fans everywhere and ticket prices that could put a kid through college (better off buying the ticket). I saw it coming, the fake patriots turning this series into their own TDS fuelled fight for our country. I suggest ignoring the nausea surrounding what is actually a good World Series matchup in a game deep rooted in real American tradition. There aren’t any Canadians on the jays either if you want to sink some reality into people.
 
DUDE i just LOVE the hustle and bustle of the big city, it’s so DYNAMIC and makes me feel like i’m in one of my favourite TV SHOWS.
you should totally come on down to my studio apartment, it’s got EXPOSED RED BRICK walls and 50 square feet!
we can crack open a nice hoppy ipa or three and get crazy watching the TORONTO BLUE JAYS!!!
and dude, dude, DUDE, we have GOTTA go down to the barcade- listen here, right, it’s a BAR where us ADULTS who do ADULTING can go DRINK. BUT!!!! it’s also an ARCADE like when we were kids, so we can play awesome VIDEO GAMES, without dumb kids bothering us. speaking of which Olivia and i have finally decided to tie the knot- literally -we’re both getting snipped tomorrow at the hospital, that way we can save money to spent more on ourselves and our FURBABIES.
i’m fuckin JACKED man, i’m gonna SLAM this craft beer and pop open another one!!!
Let's go Blue Jays!
