Football, a beta male hobby or a legit interest for men?

[SW15]

If you don't engage communally in sports, you are outside the tribe. Being disconnect from and outside the tribe is most definitely not alpha, because alpha is a leadership position.

It's possible to do individual sports and be a sigma male that gets laid.

Some sports are easy to do alone and it's a bit refreshing to do them alone. Going for a bicycle ride and swimming laps require no coordination with anyone else. Lifting weights is typically done alone too.

Team sports as an adult require co-ed sports league participation. A lot of guys do co-ed sports leagues to try to get their penises wet and often fail at it. I'd say a large percentage of men have bad experiences in co-ed sports leagues because they aren't getting laid from it. Many women might have poor experiences in co-ed sports leagues due to fielding approaches from horny and thirsty men. Some women have poor experiences playing the sport itself (see article below). This article might also explain a part of why co-ed sports leagues might not be good for pickup. I've talked about common male results from co-ed sports league pickup before.

Team sports are the modern manifestation of tribal humanity, replacing war. I would view someone unable to collectively identify with their tribe to be disconnected a defective to some degree.Not that everyone needs to obsess over sports, but some people dislike it irrationally.

There are also numerous sports that are not team sports that draw large followings such as auto racing, golf, and tennis. Some other individual sports like swimming and track & field get more popular during the Summer Olympics. I know football was the main start of this discussion, but feel it has expanded into other sports. It's possible to follow an individual sport and not follow at least one team sport, though that's kind of rare.

Turn it like you want, LARaider has a point. I do agree 'alone sports' are good, too, but they don't create a tribe.
I've been in an acting group and that was like a tribe for girls and feminine men.
I always assumed team sports to be the male counter part to that, but as a kid, I only got to know individual sports.
That's definitely a deficit.

Yup. I used alpha with the full recognition that sigma exists. Alpha means leader, sigma means lone wolf.

I like both individual and team sports. I also like intellectual pursuits. Team sports has opened doors and allowed me to lead. Rarely if ever the other two.

What people forget about Sigma males is that Alphas highly approve of them, and a Sigma male can just as easily substitute as an Alpha male if needed so. Most guys on here crying Sigma males are actually omega males.

Omega males are the worst of the worst. Those are the obese guys, the neckbeards, and socially maladaptive guys like Eliot Rodger. These are incels.

Sigmas are a thing and much different than omegas. Sigmas usually have superior social skills and looks to omegas. Sigmas are getting laid and are not incel.

The key word is "substitute", as in the implication of the impermanent. Sigmas generally dislike the rigid social hierarchy that "leader" alphas do, so imo there is an element of distrust.

Here are your role models folks

This is the type that inspired this topic. I drove home after an early morning workout just to almost hit a drunk fat obese bills fan that tried to test his Jay walking abilities. My area gets so annoying when the chiefs or bills play because their idiotic fans come to the bars near my apartment.

One of the most deplorable/Incel guys I know is a die hard Eagles fan. This guy can’t cook a meal, talk to women, his mom washes his clothes/meal preps for him, his aunt bought him a house, just an overall NEET male. However, this dude could tell you the 3rd string kicker in on the Eagles in a heartbeat and argue over you to the most particular statistic about football. He is literally one of the most saddest/depressed human beings I have ever met and the Eagles are a decent program.

Looks like you know a real life version of Silver Linings Playbook

I wouldn't necessarily take Bills fans as representative. That's not an attractive-person part of the country and Buffalo is a small market with nothing else to do.

Most wide receivers and people who get paid to hit things for a living are never going to be role models.

Your typical NFL QB, however, most often *will* make an excellent role model.

This guy is a big sports fan. Is he a beta?

Or just a flea?

Flea said he enjoyed the last batch, Jesse.

Most of the plantations were essentially corporations owned by dudes that lived far away. This image of some colonel sanders looking guy drinking mint juleps on a porch watching slaves pick cotton is purely Hollywood romanticism. I grew around the home of a top 5 slave owner and he owned like 6 plantations in Louisiana but lived in Nashville.

I have a few ancestors that owned plantations, and they lived in the manor house, just like for the movie "Gone With The Wind".

 

[Redwolf]

I watch some football mainly as entertainment if I happen to be home at the time. I've never really been the guy with jerseys and I don't really know who all the players are and all their stats and history. ...and I really don't care. I'm a busy guy with my own pursuits.

I think it's a bit sad if your life revolves around someone else's performance or a teams performance. And really it's not "your team" your just a grown fan boy.

Of course, they lived in a manor house, where else would they live at lol?

I hope so because my 75 inch tv comes in next week lol.

They might win the coin toss.

May as well familiarize yourself with all-pro safety Talanoa Hufanga now, he's about to go all tribal on y'all.

I do not foresee that happening although I do not watch sports. San Francisco is favored to win.

Its embarrassing to see these video's with black women keep popping up. I wonder why this happens in restaurants and airports so much.

Also makes me wonder how often this happened before mobile phones and cameras were a thing.

I find sport team fandom to be the most useless activity on the face of the earth. Second only to Video Gaming.

Now I can appreciate good play execution , hustle, and athletic skill, but basing your mood on the Team jersey that comes out on top is ludicrous to me. You have NOTHING INVESTED IN THE OUTCOME. Worse yet is the middle age men who wear a jersey with another man's name on the back of it. This is the Height of Self-Cuckolding.

I have jerseys for teams where I made the cut and competed on. I don't need to wear another man's wardrobe. I don't need to worship his achievements. You folks are as Jerry Seinfeld puts it :"rooting for laundry".

I am more invested in my kids sports teams than any professional team. The only way I'll be a professional sports "fan" is if I have a personal relationship with a professional athlete. I'm talking first name basis, have their cell number and they have refrigerator rights in my home.
