The main purpose of this post is to ask what type of content you like seeing around here or would like to start seeing.
The secondary purpose is to ask for help getting Hexbear watch parties off the ground.Some sports are difficult to find comrades to discuss/watch with, and sometimes its just nice to shoot the shit with a game on in the background. The existing Hextube site is upload only afaik, so getting a way to livestream stuff with a comments section that's just us is more of a long-term goal. In the short-term I want to get set up viewings for prerecorded all time greats.
The Soviets excelled at sport, so lets excel at sportsposting!
Cheers
Edit: Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday are available as options for the day.
I like that we have posts for the champions league games, I used to follow Barcelona and champions league games but sorta drifted away in the last 2 years
So timely posting of content that relates to the champions league and top level football would be up your alley? I particularly like rooting for teams that have leftist history, so we could probably get a thing going where we make a post whenever a team of interest is going to play.
Ping me if you ever make a match thread, I'll pin it. I want to encourage people to make threads for a match they are excited about so we all have a place to discuss it.
We could also have a mega for tournaments? That might be a sensible way to organize it. Thoughts?
I think reminder posts or summary posts ahead of champions league games are useful! Especially the knockout games in the second half of the season
Maybe one mega for each step like one for the round of 16 games, then close it and make one for the quarterfinals, or.. one mega for the whole tournament, I'm not sure
I've tried to post event threads but haven't got much engagement (before today)
Remember the posting-labour I did during the World Cup?
I pretty much only follow the UFC but all online UFC communities are unbelievable trash. It's like right wing manchild central.
Surely this is "our guy" in UFC https://www.mixedmartialarts.com/.image/t_share/MTkzNTg4MDQ0NDgwMTI4NDUx/andre-petroski.jpg
Oh gosh it's a tossup. I guess Pimblett, which would be sad, but Tony really needs to retire.
Please respond to this comment with a Day of the week and/or time of day you would most likely to want to watch sports related content with fellow Chapos.
Feel free to add a request if there is a game/event/match you feel is worthy of highlighting to fellow sports fans.
Example:
Anything after 7 EST and before 11 on a weekday. Felix's UFC documentary would be a good intro to the sport and its appeal.
The times you outlined seem good, and I’ll second the recommendation for the UFC documentary and also add everything else by Jon Bois because he’s the GOAT
So est, ending at a reasonable hour assuming work the next day has a vote?
His Georgia tech all time football scoring record video is a must watch, I intended to use it if this takes off and there is a colllege football week.
Brainstorm: What about a weekly thread of "Here's what's coming up this week"?
I could contribute soccer and combat sports.
That’s a great idea.
I’ll get on that once I figure out the best way to format it. Probably tomorrow.
If you have a solid idea and to make one I’ll pin it.
