when has anything ever been so bad its not worth "smooches"? be a man get laid
he said its dumb because its fucking highschool football and real adults wouldn't invest so much time and interest into it.
But really I live in the south and we've got a pretty big highschool football following around here. From students and their friends parents to older people that just go to watch the game or because they know someone on the team or at the school. So it is pretty big. Up to a few thousand people going to see a game sometimes I think (especially rivalries).
So I'd understand people not having sons/daughters on the team being interested by it or some shit but I don't watch this show and haven't seen it so I wouldn't know what exactly you're talking about when you mention people obsessing about it.
no of course i know this. it's based on reality, i am aware. i'm saying it's a dumb setting not because it's unrealistic or lacks believability but because it's really sad and pathetic how much of themselves these people invest in fucking high school football. it's gross! just because it exists does not mean you should use it as a setting. i am sure somewhere in the deep south they pine for the old days when niggers didn't dine in the same restaurants and i wouldn't want to see a town like that used as a setting for a television show either. it's a bad setting because it's already really dumb when it happens in reality and making a show about it is even worse.
but the melodrama comment i made wasn't even referring to the football thing at all. i don't think it's very melodramatic on that front; mostly it's just that the town cares too much. it's almost presented as a foregone conclusion. although one time some guy threw a brick through a window so idk. but yeah the melodrama comes from TEEN ROMANCE 95% of the time and this is intolerable and has nothing to do with fucked up texas culture.
id be way more interested in using these things to train myself to be completely unpredictable.
