My podcast did a live anti-superbowl show last night. 🏈🍻💩🍄🪠🧻🚽🍑💯

Does anyone here follow football?? No? Maybe? But I’m posting my post season predictions so when I’m right I can flex ;)

So the NFL posts this on their Instagram today

As a part of the LGBTQ community, and a MASSIVE NFL fan, I was so happy and I thought this was super cool!! And the caption was very nice and thoughtful.

And then I read the comments and for a second, I’m like “wow, I really don’t belong here”

It’s SO disheartening to be so committed to a fan base only for that fan base to just flat out reject you and disrespect you.

To be so passionate about something, just for people to say you don’t belong.

To think that my passion for watching the NFL made me a part of something so big, when in reality that “something” would rather have me gone.

Not to start out this pride month on a depressing note, but it was just something I get like I had to share with everyone.

It’s not about companies taking advantage of pride month to gain support. They’re at least trying to make people feel like they belong, or that they mean something.

It’s about the people who disrespect and try to invalidate the LGBTQ community, even though I sit down every Sunday morning to watch my favorite team play, and yell at the refs when they miss an obvious penalty. I’m no different than any other NFL fan.

In short, thank you to the NFL for making a beautiful pride post, and fuck all the homophobic armchair quarterbacks at home who would definitely suck Tom Brady’s dick if they had the chance 🤡

i am still very fucking salty about the sweet victory thing. if you are going to make me watch sports, you better damn well follow through.

Congrats to the chiefs !!! they’re so rom-com coded it’s adorable !! ❤️💛

TAYLOR SWIFT & TRAVIS KELCE celebrating the Kansas City Chiefs Win at the Superbowl (Feb 11, 2024)

I'll tell you one thing about the British though is they've got me saying "advert". We were flipping channels and came to the one with the Superb Owl and I was like "oh we could check out the adverts". It just came out, but to their credit, it does sound better than ads I think. For one thing I mean at least it isn't like completely indistinguishable from abs. I dunno, there's just a flow to it; it has a nice inflection. Advert. I knew I was reading too much Doctor Who fanfic the other day, lol. I've got to be the first person to call them the super bowl adverts.

I’ve got a hundred million reasons to walk away // But baby I just need one good one to stay

Lady Gaga is such a legendary performer! She absolutely DESTROYED that Halftime Show! I love this song so much, it shows that she is so much more than the spectacle. She is a powerhouse artist.

Me patiently awaiting for Taylor Swift to drop the new song after Kelce yelled at the coach:

Imma just say this bc I finally feel comfortable with saying it and I think I finally know what's wrong.

Yall here on this site making up conspiracy shit are the reason I don't like telling people I support Palestine.

"This exclusively Western/American Celebrity event was manufactured to distract the world from Rafah and talking about it even briefly means you're a Zionist!"

Like, please. God. The IDF couldn't care LESS about Taylor Swift. Yall are honestly making this whole thing look like a joke compared to what's actually happening.

Why I Don't Care About the Super Bowl

A very subjective take on things:

I live in the Boston area. I was born here and have spent the subsequent years of my life here. I don't have a Boston accent (at least not a distinctive one and I even went through years of speech therapy to correct the non-rhotic tendencies I had which were unrelated to my regional surroundings), I'm not Irish (not any more Irish than Welsh, German, Polish, or English, as I my heritage truly is a melting pot), and I really really really don't care about how well Boston's sports team perform in their respective competitions. My happiness at any given time is not affected by the job performance of strangers, and for that I feel free. But I also have nothing to contribute to the conversations centered around these strangers and their adversaries, and for that I feel, not left out, per say, but uninitiated. But I learned to accept that feeling around the same time that I learned it was okay to not care about sports.

I like stories. I like a captivating beginning, strong characters that I can sympathize with, interesting conflict, and satisfying resolution. The ending doesn't have to be happy, it just has to make sense. I have learned that this is very hard to find in sports. Yes, aspects of some games can be twisted into my interests. You could tell me about the long-standing rivalry between certain teams and provide interesting facts about specific players that make them seem more than just random players. But where is the true conflict? Conflict is created by rules being broken. In sport, the referees are there in part to both stop that from happening and make examples of the players who choose to ignore these rules of engagement. Imagine, instead, a game where one player, let's call him Player X, has been given permission to ignore the rules of the sport and do whatever they desire to make sure their team wins. Already you have more intrigue. Especially if Player X's role cannot be transferred to another player were they to be injured or taken out of play. That is a game I would watch, maybe. But the rules are there for a reason, apparently. And while I am not saying that rules universally stifle creativity, the explicitness and thoroughness of the rules can certainly make it very hard to express that creativity. So, the lack of true conflict negatively affects my ability to enjoy sports (And please don't mix up conflict and controversy. One adds dimension and incentive to a story, the other just creates argument. Controversy can cause interesting conflict, like the 2002 Winter Olympics pairs figure skating gold medal controversy. But more often than not, it just seams to create pettiness and disappointment, like the reveal of Lance Armstrong's doping).

I also mentioned my love of strong, sympathetic characters, by which I mean well-developed and multidimensional characters whose actions and responses make sense. I have to care about the character(s) and understand why I'm rooting for them other than the fact that they have been presented as the protagonist. I want to know why they are in conflict with the antagonist, their relationship to the antagonist, etc. I was going to write about my love of Joss Whedon and how awesome he is at character development while citing examples from his work, but I kept getting distracted by Buffy-tangents, which I have learned hold little interest for those unfamiliar with the series. So I have reigned myself in. Your welcome. Instead I will state this: the members of sports teams are not characters, they are people employed by the team. Their motivation is money and glory. They don't necessarily have any ties to the city they represent. They may have great friendships with players on the opposing team. All they want is the claim the greatness that winning ascribes along with more money than they would have made were their group efforts not so coordinated. There is nothing poetic about that.

Give me a hero, or better yet, an anti-hero. Give me a villain who might not be an villainous as they seem. Give me grand stories full of imagination. In short, I need a reason the stay interested as my attention span is constantly shifting. So no, I didn't/won't be watching the game or rooting for the home team. They have not earned my attention or my affection and I am long since over pretending otherwise.

In the interest of full disclosure, I tend to enjoy the Olympics and Bob Costas.

I don’t care who you think you are or who they are, booing the Walter Payton Man of the Year is just pathetic. You don’t deserve the name Eagles

originally made for a print exchange. I was the only person to submit on time, but my piece was probably also the least superlo (forgive me it was an early experiment carving backwards words and after having it pointed out I cannot unsee this mistake)

everybody loves this piece until they ask what gave me the idea, so fair warning.

somebody I know on twitter is a very out of touch artist, and there was a hashtag during the super bowl that was #superbowl, so they look at this in their "trending topics" feed for the day and tweet, "I feel like I'm missing something, what the heck is this Superb Owl everyone is talking about?"

tadah.
