The end of civilization costs $5

Some towns still get water to their houses through leaded pipes. This is the most economical way for those people to get water. Others don't trust their water even if it technically meets EPA standards. And some places just have water that tastes really bad.

Most of America gets water from a tap and maybe filters it.

No sport played and watched by millions of people is inheritantly boring. All of them can be entertaining if you choose to understand them.

Why are you assuming that I've gone through life like that? I was raised watching and playing sports.

It doesn't "bother" me, it's simply incorrect to think that the only reason 100% of people don't like sports is because they haven't tried hard enough.

Do you tell gay people that they just haven't tried hard enough to like women?

Do you tell asexual people that they just haven't tried hard enough to like sex?

I can't imagine going through life being so arrogant as to think you've had the definitive life experience.

Wow, you are trying really hard to spin this. My outrage and past sports related trauma? That's a rhetorical question, I don't need to know where you pulled that from. Neither of those things exist. Good luck in your future endeavors not being able to accept that other people don't enjoy the same things as you.

Others have explained why you're wrong well enough already. I just want to say I did down vote you for your wrongness, but thank you for posting an interesting topic of discussion.

I've learned a little more about why people think that if we non fans just tried harder we'd magically start liking sports. I've also heard some some good arguments I can use when people inevitably try to convince my to like their sport IRL.
