Well considering a lot of the discussion on here is around tech and specifically Linux that doesn’t surprise me. Very online tech people usually aren’t that interested in sports.
Im glad you have your opinion but I respectfully disagree. Sports can be a good time to watch for certain people, but dont rag on it just because its not your cup of tea.
I wonder what the Venn diagram of people that think watching sports is boring compared to the people that think watching video games streams is boring is like?
Unpopular implies active dislike or hate. Antonym to popular is “not popular”, which also includes stuff that is not actively hated, but simply ignored.
ok, i confused my message by unneccesarilly and incorrectly bringing too narrow meaning of the word antonym into it.
so: unpopular is not the same as largely ignored. just because there is not that many fans of sport on lemmy, being created largely of tech-people, doesn’t mean it is unpopular, as unpopular implies active dislike, which is not the case here.
to save some googling for anyone interested:
so we have so called polar antonyms, such as cold / hot or strong / weak, which do not cover whole spectrum of choices (there is some middle ground between hot and cold).
then we have complementary antonyms, which create two disjunct sets covering whole spectrum. these are basically logical negation.
they are often created by using a prefix from the other word. american / non-american, mortal / immortal, but also entrance / exit.
the terminology also differs between languages, it definitely does between my native language and english.

Did you see that ludicrous display last night?
What was Wenger thinking sending Walcott on that early?
The thing about Arsenal is they always try to walk it in.
The only Ludacris I saw was the commercial he did during the half time
Because it’s American capitalism 💸💰and jingoism 🛫🇺🇸💣 at it’s finest.
thank you for the little pictures, now i understand :)
Sports is boring. The games are vaguely entertaining if you’re actually playing them, but watching? Washing dishes is more engaging.
Hell, CSPAN is a better watch.

I’m in the minority where I’d rather watch friends flounder at a game than a professional gamer’s stream
i flipped the game on for a bit. one play, two commercials. i was done.
As an Eagles fan, I fucking loved that shit. But I can understand why Chiefs fans would have not enjoyed it, and everyone else would have been bored.
Kendrick fucking killed it, though. That was a great halftime show.
John Cleese said it best, the only imaginative part of american football are the ad breaks.
Watch rugby.
Fun fact:

Your description makes unpopular the antonym to popular.
i edited my message for better clarity
Yeah, nah buddy
i edited my message for better clarity
I always preferred CFL rules tbh
me too. it is a much more entertaining game.
Congo has football!?
At the best of times, this place reeks of “sportsball” stupidity which covers the football aspect.
And I would be shocked if we had even 5% black representation which nukes the interest in tuning in for Kendrick alone.
Lemmy users only like round footballs, because it allows them to sneer at Americans for having a differences in their dialect.
If they take off the armor and play, then that’s worth watching.
