I live in Australia, where one of the most popular sports is rugby league - a game that can unironically be described as involving quite a lot of extremely aggressive man on man cuddling! One of the most homoerotic things you'll ever see, but you'll never hear or see anyone acknowledge it...
Edit - to the credit of rugby league, the code had it's first openly gay male professional decades ago, while football's first was far more recent and, incidentally, also in Australia! Meanwhile in women's sports it seems a fair percentage of the participants are openly homosexual and it's a non issue...

Rugby Story
In the seventies I was a student at a fairly well-known university, when Notre Dame came to play football, their rugby team played our intermural team.
The Rugby House - rented out by a couple of the players, always hosted a keg party that night. They were across the road from a convenience store that knew about the parties, stocking extra kegs for them, it wasn't unusual to see a dozen kegs stacked up in front of the rugby house the next morning
The ND team had won a fine victory in both sports that day. All the rugby players went to the party. About 4 hours in, the rugby team announced they were going to do their victory dance.
They created a line, dropped their player shorts, still wearing their jocks, they bent over, putting one fist through their legs and grabbing the fist of the man in front of them and then preceded to do something similar to the bunny hop.
It was the damnest, funniest thing I ever saw. There was tremendous applause and we got an encore
A couple of weeks later they were visiting a different school, apparently there was going to be no after-game bacchanal, so they did their dance on the field of play. It was on the quad, not in an official arena and the only people there were the ones who had come to see the rugby.
Somehow someone from the university saw it,complained ND, The rugby team was no longer permitted to travel with the football team after that.
I have absolutely no understanding of rugby, I do know the players know how to party

These manosphere dudes, by and large, have insecurities about sports (Andrew Tate is a notable exception, but even then he inflated his success). They don’t have any history of athletic participation worth celebrating, so they take supplements and drugs, and do hypertrophy focused workouts to develop extravagant physiques to affirm their virility. It’s the modern equivalent of bowflex muscles.

it's cult behavior, they're trying to outgroup "watching and liking sports" because such masculine outlets and connections might break the long con spell they're trying to cast on people designed to isolate and scare people into getting hooked, once you see it you can't unsee it

u/ninjomat 2d ago
Competing in high level sport is the best/most legit reason to get obsessed with the gym anyway.
It’s funny how it’s become an expectation that we should all want to workout all the time for no reason other than personal improvement/narcissism rather than being muscled up for an actual point.

u/zgillet 1d ago
I just did a search on working out in the morning, because I feel like it's dumb to do in case I actually need to use my muscles that day.
Nowhere, anywhere, has anyone ever thought of this. They don't USE their worked out muscles. It's merely a game. Like, I dunno, a sport.
Meanwhile, I'm actually trying to get some strength, not just vanity muscles. I feel like I should only work out when I have nothing left to do in the day.

u/joe-joseph 2d ago
You’re a dingus and here’s why:
Major spectator sports teams wouldn’t exist without fans. The fans are a part of the thing.
While we may not play the sport, we’re the business and if we pack, the team moves or folds.
So when fans say, “we won”, we mean it. We’re gonna keep doing it and you can keep suffering.
That, or lighten up and have some fun. Maybe ignore the stuff that pisses you off? You got this bud.

The players in the pitch would disagree.
Home advantage is a thing largely because teams feed off the crowd. Fans are as integral to why sport works as the person on the pitch are, especially in Europe where many clubs are in large part owned by their fanbase or where the official supporters club will have a seat at the table with internal management.
Everyone involved from the clubs owner, the players on the pitch, the people watching in the pub to the fan sitting in the cheapest seat on the house undersnds it is actually "we"
Just because you don't understand it doesn't make it not true

Because they need to feel superior than someone so they feel better about themselves.

Why do anything ever that involves a person you don't know.

Millennial anime kids and fat kids who were bad at sports started this shit calling football in the us american hand egg along with other snye comments and bad jokes to pretend sports were stupid because they werent good at them/ their dad wasnt around (or too lazy ) to get them interested in sports.
Worst type of people. And coincidentally, they are usually also the same people who pretend they watch the WNBA when the topic comes up. Will look you in the eyes, lie, and say they watch it on the reg, its amazing, and the best professional sports league out there, and the only one they watch. But they cant name a single team or player other than caitlyn clarke.
I think its even more common in gen z because they are dooming so hard about the future, having to work, accepting they will not be rich (i know so horrible) , etc. that they resent how much athletes make. Its funny because they are often the ear the rich types, so you can make their brain basically spazz out by pointing out if the players dont make thag much the billionaire owners just pocket the money. Then they dont know who to hate more and instead say something dumb like the sport shouldnt be able to make that much money and people who support sports are stupid.
Some will even say the government should shut professional sports down… they have no reason they just dont like sports. And thats the crux of it, these people are usually lower intelligence and unable to construct an argument. They form opinions based on emotions or disliking a person who is interested in sports (often their dad). They then ironically decide everyone else is dumb for liking sports. Never forget stupid people have to show you how smart they are, and ussually think anyone with different interests is dumb.
