#1) I am sick of having to listen to them and watch them try to pretend to be cute for the camera, and I am sick of the typical sexually starved American man getting excited about them. Most of them at best are 7/10, with a few true hotties, who are getting close to the wall and have nothing to add or offer. They didn't play football, they probably didn't even grow up really watching football, but now I am supposed to pretend their opinion is worth my free time and millions a year in salary. Get out of here.

#2) If I want to look at women, I will surf for porn. If I want to watch sports, then I want to see great athletes go to battle and see memories be made. I don't need some vastly over confident female sideline reporter trying to pretend she is part of it. Shut up and go away.

#3) There was a great post here about it might be best to watch as little sports as possible. I agree with this. I think sports are a great outlet for men, but at the same time it should be in moderation. We are being inundated with 24/7 sports networks and it is really too much. There are so many better things for a man to be doing and learning. But I will go a step further and say this is true for all TV, not just sports. I go to bed super early in the morning and get up and work two jobs. It has been great for me. Rather than watching TV and wishing my life was like the fake commercials put on air or the unreal TV shows, I instead am either asleep or at work. And I can keep track of all the scores and highlights in a few minutes on my phone.

All great points, but why are we creating a market for professional sports anyway?

I haven't heard the feminists bitching about "men who play sports for a living" yet, so I can only assume that they see nothing wrong with pro sports.

The obvious response from red-pill men should be to question the value of watching other men have a good time getting paid to play games for our entertainment.

Wouldn't it be more manly to use that time to actually play a sport ourselves or even put that time into make some money?

I agree, it would be more useful to put our time into something else as Red Pill males.

The only reason I will watch a game, if it is one a I am really looking forward to, and it fits into my already busy schedule. Which means Saturday or Sunday afternoon, after I have all my chores/errands finished and I want some type of escape before heading back into work again.

I think most men create a market for professional sports because their real life is so miserable it is an escape. Much like video games or other online games/distractions. They know something is wrong, but can't put their finger on it, so they escape it in their free time. The red pill males are lucky to know something is wrong, but they also know what that something is and how to fix it.

Colts punter tweets half-naked picture of Andrew Luck



Equality is a one-way street for feminists. Let some dude walk around the female locker room while those chicks are naked (preferably volleyball players; nobody wants to see WNBA players naked).

Post: #29

Am I the only one that hates sportscasters in general?

I don't want to hear their voice. I just want to watch the game with the gentle "Roar" of the crowd in the background. I would enjoy football so much more if I didn't hear any interview this random innane comment that. Just STFU and let me watch the game.

Throw up some graphics too. ESPN would have a shit show if someone did that.

I have the same reaction to radio DJs. Someone just needs to tell them to STFU and play the damn music!

Local announcers that follow their team all season can definitely enhance the experience, and sometimes only a real good talking head will do (ie, Marv Albert for any NBA playoff game). But I do agree that most of the time they're inane and asinine in what they say, ie yesterday when Phil Simms argued that the Chargers were right in going for it on 4th down and then immediately arguing for punting after the delay of game, or how about the entire Fox broadcast which Joe Buck spent messily fellating Aaron Rodgers.

Compare:









Andrews is shocked after 10 seconds of Sherman's rant. There's a noticeable pause before she asks her second question. Sal Paolantonio signs off with a smirk on his face after feeding Bart Scott's rant. I can't imagine how much better the Sherman interview would have been if anybody but Andrews had conducted it.

Nothing makes me reach for the mute button faster than the sound of Erin Andrews' obnoxious, nasally voice.

Another reason I mainly watch Boxing nowadays. The only females you see are the ones walking around the ring in between rounds and the Tecate girls at televised weigh-ins. The commentary and play-by-play is at least solid, if not great, and the best part is that it's such an anti-SWPL sport that you don't see calls for a "women's opinion" and other garbage.

Here we're also seeing the same thing

There's nothing unmanly about indulging in entertainment, so long as it's in moderation. Additionally, watching sports can also be inspirational, social, and educational. If a man has better things to do with his time he shouldn't be faulted for that, but there's nothing inherently wrong with watching sports.

A related comment I made at Return of Kings article on this subject:

What you describe is more an lack of discipline and moderation than a problem inherent with watching sports. What you describe is primarily socializing, drinking, and satisfying addictive fantasy football cravings.

Watching sports can be inspirational and motivational as well as entertaining. Yes, you watch other men achieve, but then you absorb a little bit of that competitive spirit you saw and use it to better your own life. This is especially true if you like spending time in the gym doing weight training and high-intensity intervals.

Don't spend 8 hours in a bar. Don't waste an entire weekend doing one basic, unproductive activity. But don't beat yourself up about spending a few hours per week relaxing with friends over a football game.

Playing a pickup game of basketball with your friends is entertainment. Watching someone else have fun on TV is just lazy.

Watching intense competition of the most athletic, skilled athletes in the world is entertainment to me.

If you don't have time for it because you're training, reading, studying, working, or whatever-- that's great. But it's pretty ridiculous to think that no one ever has any time to spend watching television, especially socially. If you watch one 3-hour game per week, that's 2.6% of your waking hours (16 hour day) during the season spent "being lazy". If you only watch one sport, average that out to a whole year the number drops to <1%. If you can't do something productive with your life with the 99% of the time you aren't spending watching sports, there's a problem somewhere and enjoying sports on TV has nothing to do with it.

Just saw this headline and figured I'd post it here....

"Erin Andrews Wins $55M In Hotel Peephole Lawsuit; Jury Blames Hotel & Stalker"

WTF. Ok I don't watch ESPN nor do I care about sports, but this just seems insane. There was a hidden camera in a hotel or something?? If anything, the exposure probably helped her like it usually does in these female celebrity cases. That kind of money for this seems off the charts. Apparently she was seeking $75MM but only got $55MM. Maybe someone can chime in who knows sports a little more.

Post: #42

The settlement is retarded.

Erin was staying in a hotel room and a peeping tom drilled a hole in the wall so he could peak in and record video. To be fair, Erin's body and type is a dime a dozen.

She probably sued the hotel for not having thicker walls which is stupid unless there was an employee who did it then by all means.

Post: #43

She won't be getting most of that money though. Because if you look on the ruling, something like 25 million will come from the guy. The hotel will probably settle or appeal. Her body is basically your average tall skinny white girl though.

Post: #44

The dude manipulated the door peephole to videotape her inside her room. That's why the hotel company was found liable, because the peephole shouldn't have been able to be accessed from the other side of the door. I remember when the story broke 10 years ago, because the ESPN newscasters tried to keep people from looking at the video by saying, "All the videos online are full of viruses set to attack your computer." I guess it's ok for newscasters to lie when they're white knighting.

I think the question is, if a dude was videotaped by a stalker inside his room, would the jury have awarded the same amount of damages?

good one. would the lawsuit even make it to trial? Hulk Hogan had someone videotape him having sex without his consent and then a nationally broadcasted television show put the edited tape on the air. The judge ruled that the TV network is not liable for damages because the expectation is that once the tape was in the public domain, Hogan no longer has the expectation for privacy. lol. FUCK THAT.

but after the hotel chain's liability is knocked down the 30 M to 12 M in appeal. And her lawyers take half, and the government and state taxes take half, her whining bitch ass is only going to be left with about 3 or 4 M. About 10 times more than the real damages that she actually suffered.

Post: #46

One sports radio talk show commentator in my area stated her stalker specifically asked for the room next to her's three different times, in three different cities, under the same name. That the hotel granted his request is irresponsible, and made the hotel negligent.

I know I am gonna get some hate for saying this but sports is stupid. It's a way to get loser beta males worship select few paper alpha idols while rotting away, drinking estrogen and listening to stupid ads.

I figure this thread is a good place to discuss this. I cannot stand listening to Doris Burke speak. She has a better knowledge of the NBA than most of the female broadcasters, and I don't even care that she is busted. Its her solipsistic pestering tonality that drives me bonkers. She acts as if she is dolling out wisdom never heard before when she asks the same banal questions as every other broadcaster.

The great ones, Marv Albert Mike Breen etc. understand how to be a commentator in service of the sport. They know their value comes in reacting to and enhancing what is happening on the court. Doris Burke babbles about fucking nonsense for a minute and a half and then has a look on her face like she just wrote the Hamlet soliloquy. There was a game last year where she was droning on about what some assistant coach said at halftime, while Lebron threw down a monster alley oop in the background. She seemed completely oblivious to the play and continued to discuss her conversation with the assistant like she was Bob Woodward during Watergate.

I was already at the end of my rope with her, and then I heard her on the Zach Lowe podcast talking about how difficult it was to compete in a male dominated profession. She went on and on about how she has to be smarter and tougher than her male colleagues. All of the usually tired cliches. Then she starts discussing a particular incident with Gregg Popovich.

"But, yeah, Zach, it’s not fun. Everybody laughed at that, last year – and I don’t know if you remember the moment – but I had asked him something about the offensive end, and he said “turnovers,” one word. Then I asked him about, “OK, on the defensive end, you held them to whatever percentage. What did you see that you liked on that end?” And he said “turnovers” again."

"Two words. I was devastated. It was brutal. It was absolutely brutal. I was almost in tears. I go back to where I sit, and I’m trying to compose myself, because I thought I asked two pretty good questions. And those were those were the responses I got.

Almost in tears. Literally blinking back tears"






It must be so hard, what a professional
