Top of Reddit right now is some white asshole who got a ball in a hole bestest of all.
I come to Lemmy & this is on top of my All feed. Much better.
I understand that "sportsball" is incredibly unpopular here on lemmy because yall are a bunch of nerds, but rory mcilroy accomplished something today that is extremely unusual and deserves recognition.
Luigi also accomplished something extremely unusual that deserves recognition, but he didn't do it today.
It's more like an illustration of Reddit turning into a useless bunch of fluff. I don't know anything about golf or that guy, it just happened to be the top fluff when I posted.
I love sports, especially combat sports, and have participated in lots of sports. I played (actually more sat on the bench) sports at a D1 college. But I understand and respect that lots of people DGAF about sports. Because I DGAFF about golf. It is a stupid bougie game, not a sport, and wastes a lot of resources. So I understand that folks don’t like sports in general.
Indeed, I find Sportsball not terribly interesting, and think it gets too much pride of place in news media (not being able to separate Sports from "Breaking News" push notifications on the Guardian app back when I had it, comes to mind. Grumble, grumble).
I don't begrudge anyone who enjoys it though. Everyone has their own interests!
For selfish reasons, I'm pretty glad Lemmy isn't terribly interested. It saves me from having to filter out the biggest sports communities like I had to on Reddit.
There are plenty of valid reasons to find sports boring. Yes playing some in person is fun but it's totally valid to dislike watching or hearing about them.
I like real sportsball. But, you're talking about golf. I don't know or care who rory macrory is and I couldn't care less. Golf isn't a real sport, it's dudes walking around on a pretty lawn then occasionally whacking something with a club.
Best description of golf I’ve heard is that it’s “A good walk spoiled”.
all golf courses could be turned into lovely detailed botanical gardens/arboretums where everyone could take lovely walks and have picnics for free.
I suppose they both have managed to get hole in ones?
I miss the black asshole who used to put the ball in the hole.
Yeah bud I bet golf is more popular than murdering people.
And yet, this is top on Lemmy. Maybe because you don't get banned for mentioning Mario's brother here.
I mean that’s fair Reddit is balls. I just don’t get the weird sportsball energy from this guys comment.
I think I touched a nerve. I bet homeboy here wears polos on the green. Maybe even plays with the boss.
murdering *murderers.
allegedly
Oh yeah. It might not even be him actually.
Luigi didn't murder anyone. The evidence they planted on him doesn't make any sense
I think just by longevity within the human experience that murder is far more popular.
The founders of every country were, by your definition, murderers.
This guy gets it.
People watch more TV about murders than golf.
Depends on whose playing in both.
Don’t know about that. ESP. Here. How many people like golf? How many people like Luigi and his crusade? Because they think that Luigi, who is innocent, might have murdered someone.
