Hockey

I just had an epiphany that I am the best kind of sports fan.

I realized this during the BIG OLYMPICS HOCKEY SHOWDOWN that just took place. Which I ignored, because I'm not really into hockey, plus everyone's going to forget it in a month anyway, so it really isn't worth watching for the "important moment" feel either.

That's not why I'm the best kind of sports fan. Unless being mildly disinterested in hockey has some sort of hidden sports fan award bonus.

Actually, right after the US apparently tied the game to send it into overtime, I found myself not really caring who won (as in, not-not caring because I wasn't interested in the game... but because I was sort of conflicted. I wrote this about two hours ago and just now realized that writing this part didn't make a whole lot of sense. I could have edited it and replaced with something else, but that'd be too easy or something).

On one hand, I'm living in the US, so it's sort of weird to root against your country. On the other hand, Canada probably cared about the game about 6021503921 times more than the US did, so it'd be better if the victor actually appreciated the spoils, you know?

So in essence, I am super duper selfless and willing to let others have the glory rather than hog it all for me and my teams, and Yankee fans are the worst people in the world.

Also, since I am super duper selfless, I deserve a break at least once.

So God pretty much owes me a Vikings Super Bowl now. That's all there is to it.
