Sports Obsession. I Don't Get It.

[badstar]

It is truly a sad state of affairs when I open my email...and have to delete 15 messages from a supervisor that are all about football playoffs.

Can someone PLEASE explain to me why people are SO obsessed with sports that it supercedes EVERYTHING? I'd really like to understand this because honestly, It drives me berserk. All I ever hear about here is football. Besides computers of course.

Call me unreasonable, but I should NOT have 3 times as many emails about football in my inbox as I do that are actually relevant to work.

oh my gosh, i know what youre talking about!!! i used to teach at a preschool (you can imagine how many guys worked there), and i couldnt relate to about 90% of the conversation just because i dont watch those shows. and when they werent babbling about reality tv, it was obsessively reading trashy mags about the country's hottest 20 guys, or who all the beloved celebrities are fucking. blech. not my cup of tea. made it quite difficult to make friends, actually.
