I could say snide things about football, cult-like behaviour, in-group identifiers and stuff, but let's just skip it. *sigh*
Just, you know. If I had the cognitive energy I could have done so much POINTED POINTING OUT of like exactly the same people who were posting concern-troll thinkpieces about ~*people never being outside*~ and ~*people not talking to each other and meeting strangers*~ who then, the moment that people started doing this because of the game, were posting thundering denouncements and demands in some cases LITERALLY that the kids get off their lawn. Or in this case ARE USING THEIR PARKS TOO MUCH. Or whatever. (And if you ask them they're like "well I didn't mean like THAT - " and it's like aaaaaugh *tears hair*.)

But I don't have the cognitive energy. Sigh.
