[quote name="erupt107th"]I can't think of a time where I watched a game and did not want a certain team to win.[/quote]NT?

What say you?

Y'all watch games neutrally? Not talking about watching your teams or teams you hate or your players or players you hate.

I'm talking about if you have no interest in the teams or players, but you're watching. Do you watch neutrally, or do you have to pick a side?

during the season i watch tons of games that i have no vested interest in who wins or loses. of course i barely have actual interest in the game either because of that. like, hawk vs knicks...hornets vs knicks...hawks vs hornets...idgamf who wins any of those matchups ever, but i'll watch sure.
 
As I said I always find myself rooting for someone. Certainly don't really care if that team wins but I always have a winner in mind when I watch a sport

every year ill watch random march madness games with teams i have never heard of before and I'll end up cheering hard for one team by the end of the game
 
It'd be so dope to do a re-vote on the Finals winner, before game 3.

OP shows up for game 3 when game 4 starts, though. No way we can re-vote right now.

How is RCK not running this Finals thread?

We talked briefly about who would start the thread, then omarion did, and it just happened. Followers.

If RCk doesn't get the offseason thread....

There's always a dude so thirsty to make a thread when he knows damn well he won't be updating it. Remember when Japan Air made the off-season thread last year? Had like 2 updates the entire off season

It's hard not to root for someone when you're watching a conversation. If I had no one to root for, I watch something else.

I figured. Again, we just disagree. No biggie.

Nah. "I wonder who will win, and I hope it's ______ (Bron or Steph)" is not a universal form of curiosity. It is a form, but not universal and constant. For some, it's just "Gee, I wonder who will win. I shall watch and observe."

Tru, there's an agenda there, but "I want my curiosity of who will win to be satisfied" is not the same agenda as "I want the ______ (Cavs or Warriors) to win." It is guaranteed that the first agenda will be met; someone WILL win. But having a pro-_______ (Cavs or Warriors) agenda definitely affects the way the game is watched compared to a neutral observer.

No?

You're right but all I was originally trying to say is that there is always some sort of agenda prompting people to watch and that one may lead to another. I should have worded my earlier statements better.

People wonder why the sky is blue.

People wonder why the sun and moon don't fall on us.

People wonder what they actually look like to others. they have an idea, but they dont really know.

curiousity is not a phenomenon. It's extremely common. People just wonder bro.

Having a vested interest in something definitely makes it more interesting and enjoyable. But I absolutely have watched sporting events and without having prior knowledge of participants just watched to watched. Rooted for no one because I didn't know anybody. Sometimes if that becomes a bore, you find minute differences that, for entertainment value to you, gives one squad a newly discovered advantage. 'Oh, this guy has some ill kicks, I hope he balls out' or 'this team is playing like suckers, i hope they get washed'.

Not since I was child who knew nothing. Now if I wonder something it's because I want to know an answer for a reason. I don't just......wonder, that's weird. Even when I was a child I usually had a reason for wanting to know besides "Just cuz".

that's foreign to me.

I understand watching games where I don't care for either team . Say playoffs , like last round hous vs Gs... Did I really care who won? Not really but I picked a team and rooted for them. Any game I'm watching i'll ask people who are around "who u going for in this game ?"
We don't really care but just while watching we start rooting for a team. Sure the game can be really enjoyable but I find it more enjoyable watching with an agenda.
People hate mayweather yet he gets watched because most people are rooting for him to lose. They are interested in that.
It's more enjoyable when you rooting for or against someone, at least for me.
