American sports fans & how we view sports really being exposed during the WC

[NYC Rebel]

I mean...shyt like this.

Any of us who had the fortune (and misfortune) of growing up around

• Foreign parents
• Ol' school southern parents

.....realize that they don't give two shyts about emotions or visual displays of it doesn't mean shyt. Yet the American sports fan....well...let me be fair...analysts...insist on being some armchair behavioral psychologist.

Foreigners in general aren't into how someone else is acting and letting them effect them. I don't think American athletes are either. But why do we insist on cats visually looking like they have to have a Marlboro Man/Bill Cowher-esque, or give visual displays of "leadership."

shyt needs to retire. I can care less how a niqqa is looking on the bench. As an athlete probably sitting next to that dude, you'd probably be breathing too hard and into the game to care.

Ive always hated the "body language" criticism..to me its an analyzation cop out when you cant come up with anything real...

Just more made up shyt by sportswriters. They want to create this epic timeless stories instead of just reporting them. They don't give a crap about the game they just want what's gonna look best on paper/film and a guy with his head down or a the Kobe jaw looks/sounds good.

I haven't heard endless talks about Ronaldo or Messi's "legacy" either.

THANK GOD!!!!

My favorite is how two guys doing the exact same thing elicits vastly different responses purely based upon what has already been decided about them.

Cam with his head down on the bench late in a game his team is losing:

That's not leadership. You can't just sit and pout when things aren't going well. He'll never win in this league.


Brady in exact same scenario:

You can tell this is killing him. He's such a competitor. He hates to lose. Those guys are gonna rally around him.

LT body language experts wasn't a thing?


Jay Cutler?

I can go on and on.

Theres a reason I said "shyt like this"

Yessir

And they don't spend half the game needlessly gassing up players, talking about their "heart" and "grit" and "intensity"

With no commercial breaks and timeouts, soccer announcers just focus on the action

Pro Athlete: "I've come this far as a professional athlete to let a towel on Cam's head affect how I play!!"

American sports "journalism" sucks.

And the fans buy into the BS narratives they are fed.
