so not to be overly emotional but I am thinking about the fact that when a player scores a goal the whole game stops so they can hug their friends and high five the bench and when a player hits a home run the whole game stops while they run in a little circle and all their friends that were on base wait at home plate to hug them and after every free throw regardless of if they make it or not the players gotta high five their buddy to say you got this and at every time out they all come on the court to embrace the players coming off and after every win there are goalie hugs and when a pitcher gets pulled after a rough start the players all come by to put an arm around them and say we got your back and the first thing that happens when a team wins a championship is they run directly into each other’s open arms and shout for joy while the losing team processes in silence still giving out comfort hugs and pats and it’s just really beautiful that despite how being seen as soft is supposed to be such a terrible insult their first instinct as human beings after anything good happens is hug your friends and their first instinct after anything bad happens is still hug your friends and so really in the end what are sports if not an excuse to hang out with and hug your friends all the time?
i think that once a goaltender hits the same number of saves as his jersey number in a game he gets to have a little birthday party and a complimentary breakaway attempt
when I first started watching sports I was like aww come on it’s totally possible to be a fan of more than one team! but now I understand my own folly. I hate every man alive who is not one of my guys. I see a man in a jersey different from my own and I rip his throat out with my teeth without asking questions. better an innocent die than an enemy be allowed the chance to score against my guys. I don’t want both teams to win. I want every other team to be ground to dust beneath my heel. I want every man who is not one of my guys to weep unceasingly in the darkness. to love a team is to invite the devil into your heart to rule your whims forever more. normal sports stuff
oh to be Y/N living in a hockey city but completely unaware of the sport only to bump into an nhl superstar who falls in love with you because you're not like other girls
