I’ve never been into any sports. But as I’ve heard on the Internet once « soccer (or any other sport) is the most important thing out of the unimportant things ». I know we’ve got some rugby fans around, and surely someone is into baseball too. F1 has been picking up in my periferal circles just cause of that Netflix special. It’s not something that was part of my upbringing or family, but maybe one day I’ll find a sport to root for. One of my very valuable memories I haven’t recalled for the longest time (that came to mind thanks to your post) was visiting my grandfather in Belarus in January because it was on the way, being stuck in their tiny apartment and spending most of my time there watching the Winter Olympics together. Slalom and shit 🤘
Witnessing sports with others, especially if they enjoy the same sports you do, is an amazing feeling. When you get the moments where something awesome happens, or awesomely disappointing, and you get to share it with those around you, there’s no feeling like it. And Winter Olympics is fun. Curling is strangely addictive.
