Cultivated Disinterest in Professional Sports

The disdain for working class culture among academics was part of the reason I choose not to pursue a formal higher education.

You don't have to agree with everyone around you on every topic in order to get along. How often do these topics come up in a professional setting anyway? He must be one of those annoying people that wants to talk about sports 24/7. I enjoy sports and it doesn't cause me any trouble in my academic career. I thought everyone understood that it's generally good manners to choose topics of conversation that all involved are interested in. You don't go around talking to anyone and everyone about Everquest, do you? Does this mean there's disdain for Everquest culture?

When the Saints won the superbowl, New Orleans was at peace. I don't see any amount of alcohol, politics, guns, or camaraderie able to accomplish that again.

"hey I'm robbing you after that awesome game"
"Fuck it dude, take it all, let's go get drinks because the Saints won"

Football taught me things as much as school. I learned more with football than doing any differential or early 2000 programming language. It made me not a pussy. It made me able to get my ass up everyday and do my best. i strive to be better because working hard has payoff. Failure is a great motivator and success makes hard work worth it. Fucking Millenials.

Really? Is football not getting enough respect a problem? Can't even turn on the god damn news on Monday. That's also a pretty lame excuse for not going into academia.
I don't like football because its about 10 minutes of action for every hour of t.v.

Was it the tight plants or copious padding that made you not a pussy?

The bruises. Broken bones. The taste of blood. I am sure running around in sweatpants is so much cooler.


I laughed off a broken finger one time. I taped it up and was in the next play. I felt like a norse God. If you ever had a moment in your life where you know nothing on earth will stop you, you know that you will beat the human in front of you. You put in the work to be plain better, you will understand.

Now i dick around on computers all day...yay.
