Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.

I'll watch like a clip of people doing "crazy" things like mailing a difficult shot, or some other high skill play.
But I could not care less about team culture, league culture, specific players/coaches, championships, W/L records, etc.
Even the Olympics all I care about is the sportsmanship of the world coming together to compete fairly as a show that outside politics we can all get along for this event. But I don't care about watching any of it, I just like the humanity of it.
Sports can bring out great does of skill, but I just wish it wasn't such a default small talk thing. People will get mad at each other at work for liking the wrong team and they'll rag on each other about issues that none of them have a hand in.
Like... Just like it privately. It shouldn't be such a huge part of your personality. I shouldn't know who you like while actively trying to stay out of any and all discussion about it.
