Maybe let people enjoy their hobbies? Is belittling other people for being enthusiastic about something the new chic?
Literally. You can say that shit about anything. Like omg a lil researcher. We’ll have fun with your beakers lil guy! Keep mixing stuff 🙃
Girls who like to knit are funny like “look at me I can make clothes out of string!” Yup you sure can lil one!
Ugh.
Yes to both of those. Next!
Nah, it's been this way forever. Only, it used to be reserved for nerds and geeks enjoying d&d, comics, and whatever else wasn't cool at the time. Society's just at a point now where the jocks aren't the defacto popular kids so their hobbies are fair game for ridicule now too.
I def agree that no one should knock a (harmless) hobbie, but I didn't read the post as being mean. My reading was more that it's genuinely thinking it's cute that some guys get so excited about sports. At least, it's better than the "ugh all men care about is sports" kind of angle.
Seems pretty blatantly infantilizing
No one is trying to keep anyone from enjoying things here? This is clearly just a funny joke and if it genuinely offends you then you're the one who needs to let people enjoy things.
I admit I don't get the joke. I just see people smugly belittling others for their hobbies. Where is the joke? What's to be laughed at? If anything, this makes me sad that people are so antisocial and unempathetic that they feel like they need to tear others down to feel happy.
You can run defense for football peeps all you want but football peeps live for shitting on people who don't football
It's funny how cosplaying is seen as this weird niche nerdy activity... unless it's as an athlete.
Although, having said that, we do have the term 'full kit wanker' in the UK, for anyone who buys the whole kit (not just the t-shirt, scarf or hat). Because, you see, there's an acceptable quantum of cosplaying.
If I told people I planned to sit around for hours on a weekend watching TV, they'd call me lazy.
If I told them I was watching sports, they'd ask me what team I liked.

Pretty sure this stopped being true a decade ago.
Wearing a jersey/scarf is more about showing which "tribe" you're part of though. Going full kit is a bit different as it's excessive.
These women just can't understand that men dress and play sports for themselves, not to impress women.
😤😤😤
Another estrogen filled rant from the woman-splaining fem-ocracy!
Lemmy is weird today
DO YOU BEAR OR SPORT??
It's okay to cosplay sports little buddy
That's a compliment.
My wife once asked me with a straight face if I had any "football cosplay shirts" and while it took me a minute to figure out what she meant, I couldn't argue with her terminology.
SportsBall!!! Wheee!
If they all just took turns, holding the ball and putting it where they wanted, then there would be no need for all the aggression.
Hey do you guys remember when I was super good at sports in the past? Wasn't that great? I bet I could have been even better if coach had let me play in that key game. Then, everyone would have seen how good I was and I would have got to play more!
I AM NO GAY, I WEAR ANOTHER MAN NAME AND NUMBER ON MY CLOTHES
I just want him to know that I know his favorite number :)
Why are furries looked down upon but people who dress in fursuits at sporting events viewed as figures of fun?
The sex part.
You mean the sex has to be covert instead of overt?
I don't sports. All the men I know who sports seem to be very invested. Its cool though, I politics.
Do you Jersey in politics too lil person?
I jersey for sure. I'll put my local shirt on wherever. I'll wear my shirt for any walks or endorsements for candidates at the union hall.
Yes, I'll wear my politics, if that's what you were saying.
Women are so funny with their designer clothes and handbags, "I'm just like my favorite singer/actress!" haha, sure you are, lil princess 😀
Getting their nails done is hilarious, like aww, you gonna go change the way your hand operates so you can have your fun-time 3 inch long plastic shit gatherers? better show them off at the grocery store! 😜
somebody’s sensitive
me on my way to drive a wedge between the sexes until we live in genderstates and only convene once per year for breeding
For you that would mean less sex. For me, so much more.
