15. ESPN is unfortunately on a lot in our break room: hateful cult of macho BS

Yeah, yeah...I know. Disdain for sports in this country immediately relegates one's social position on many counts, but there it is. I apparently wasn't born with the gene that induces big heaps of enthusiasm over "gladiators" tossing and chasing balls around. The running commentary of ESPN sounds like a bunch of screaming, hateful FOX-esque blowhards whoose only concern is for empty, self serving concerns...and, well, sorry, but the only ones I see there who respond favorably to that shit are like minded. I have plenty of friends and family though who have their favorite teams, etc...but they're not of the overzealous variety.
