Here’s the difficulty I have with your point. You are neglecting individual agency of both parties.

For me it depends on venue/times seen/knowing the setlist/Peter Wolf.

The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt did a story line where NFL teams all changed their names to controversial topics to goose merchandise sales by people burning jerseys to protest.

My favorite was “The Seattle Oatmeal Raisin Cookies You Thought Were Chocolate Chip”

Well, since I don’t live in Saudi Arabia, my real world is one where women have the agency and intelligence to make their own decisions, without the need of male relative’s input or permission.

I remember seeing U2 at MSG, and Bono gave a shout out to “Tim Robbinsson and Susan Sarandon” so that’s what I’ve referred to him as since.

Is it really pathetic?

I learned to love baseball through my Mom. She grew up in the 50s going to Fenway, skipped school to see Ted Williams’ last game, has a ton of autographs, was there when Maris hit 61, and has a cool ash tray from the restaurant Brooks Robinson opened in Baltimore.

And pancakes are overrated AF.

This is why New Yorkers, Bostonians, and any other fan bases who’ve won (and won, and won) want to win all the time. It’s one of the few fully euphoric feelings a person can have AND share simultaneously with large numbers of people.

When the Capitals eliminated the Bruins in 2012 after the Bruins won the Cup in 2011,…

“Can they both lose?” - Every Bostonian

The Dykstra House of Nails joke got me.

Kinja burner checks out.

Don’t forget the spinelessness of Congress. That’s a major factor!

Desert Fever.

Oh the humanity. I camembert-it.

I’ve knowingly and unknowningly eaten at a lot of Triple D places around the country. Most have been excellent. Regardless of what people think of the Fieri brand, the show generally does a good job of highlighting good small businesses with the right approach to food.

Well, it’s Western New York. Which is a miserable place generally.

Edwards is a homer, no doubt, but he’s also employed by the network that is owned by team being watched relatively exclusively by that team’s fan base. And at some level, especially in the age of cord cutting, the people who are subscribing to that channel, are making a choice to do so. So NESN broadcasts are aimed…

Eh, I don’t know if I buy that logic.
