Are you an Obnoxious Sports Fan? These 3 Ideas May Just Help
We’re taking a quick break this week from my usual marketing chat. I want to share a subject more personal with you for now, so you’ll need to find an alternative source of ideas on marketing your CPA Websites.
If you’ve had anyonewho matters to you admit they detest game day- not because they don’t like basketball, but because they don’t like to hear you yelling and cussing when you watch the game on TV- you might be an obnoxious sports fan.
If you’re providing an expensive home theater complete with hot dogs and brew on NCAA Final Four day and guests are fleeing the room in the middle of the game you may be an obnoxious sports fan. It’s time to take a careful look at some of your language and habits.
Well don’t worry, there’s nothing wrong that you can’t fix. A few simple rules can help make you a much more social fan. Heck, I used to drive my own wife out of the room. Since adopting these tips not only have the games become more fun, the post-game has gotten better too!
Mute It:
People have told me that the loudest they’ve ever heard me talk (yell) are the times that I’m angrily screaming and explaining to the Yankees how they should be playing the game. It occurred to me that, even though I’m angry about the players’ poor performance (because certainly, I could do better), I’m YELLING because I want to be heard over the volume of the television. At a live game, it’s not such a big deal. You’re outside, lots of people are yelling and the sound isn’t contained to a living room. I’ve found that lowering the volume of the game encourages me to also lower my voice. Though still angry, I am able to speak with my indoor voice to the players (who are no doubt listening to me through the TV monitor). This tends to attract less negative attention from those around me!
Bite it:
Your tongue, that is. Most athletes have potty mouths, but that doesn’t mean you need to have one too. Sure, it might, make you feel better to tell Carmelo Anthony to shoot the bleepin’ ball. But let’s face it, he can’t actually hear you. But the people you’re watching the game with can hear you. Substitute words like, “heck” “flippin” and “gosh darn,” if you must. If you’re going to offend people with colorful language, you’re best to just not talk (yell) at all.
Record It:
Not always the most practical option, especially if you’re talking about the Super Bowl. But if you’re watching a regular season game, and think you’ll be able to find time to watch it alone before someone spoils the score, then record the game. Watch it on your time, holler and scream and curse all you want. Take the time during the live event to hang out with your friends who may not really want to watch a sporting event in the first place.
Whatever you do, make sure you’re not compromising time with friends and family. You won’t be able to change the outcome of the game no matter how loud you are or how astute your plays might be. But your temper could drive away or even alienate real people in your life that matter. It won’t affect any of your favorite players, no matter how much you want it to! If you sit back, relax, and enjoy the game and you’re more likely to avoid being an obnoxious sports fan!
