I disagree. I’ve met a lot of new people at tailgates at the university I work at, and get to see people I already know to. School sports may limit it to just people with kids getting to socialize, but that’s still a useful place for those people.
Tailgating and :grill:ing outside the event is fine and a cool vibe. Smaller sporting events are fine. Bigass sporting events like this are just not very conducive to socialization.
Yeah, totally. Enjoy a sports bar or vibe outside. But like, the Bigass loud stadium sport event model is not a place for socialization, and high school football isn't generally televised, and have a much smaller area of influence which results in lesser focus on the peripheral activities like watch parties or tailgating outside. It's just a big bowl people go in to scream for a few hours while kids give eachother traumatic brain injuries, and then people go home and mald at their neighbours because their kids go to the wrong school.
Wow ok, I didn’t know Canadian football was a real thing until I read this comment. Here I was thinking Jon Bois invented it: https://www.sbnation.com/2014/8/18/5998715/the-tim-tebow-cfl-chronicles

All sports teams should be collectively owned by the community they’re based in

Sports not bad, football stadium bad.

I will die on this baseball mound. I'm sorry, and I know it's cringe, but I would rather golf than say American football good.

Have you tried Canadian football?
