I watched not one minute of the Stuper Bowl last night. Nothing. No half time show, no commercials, nothing. This morning when my alarm went off at 4:00 I still got out of bed, the sun still came up, and I still went to work like any other day. No matter who won / lost, my life hasn't changed one bit. I missed out on nothing.

Many of the people I know couldn't stop talking about who was going to win, how much money they had bet on the game, and if Taylor Swift (big fucking deal) was going to make the game. Many were the same people who stood up and cursed the NFL, Colin Afronick, and all the players who spit on our country when they refused to stand for the national anthem. Some were vets, many had friends and family who were past or current military, and were planning to watch the game or waiting to see how much they might win on the endless betting pools. It seems they all forgot about the disrespect and it was outweighed by their simple recreational needs.

Fuck the NFL and football. I don't recall them apologizing to anyone for disrespecting this nation and the soldiers who gave their lives to defend it. I don't forgive and forget.

You have a good grasp of reality. Very few of us do.

The rest are here:

In psychology, escapism is when a person routinely uses an activity or behavior to escape life's realities. It is a way of distracting the mind. Examples include social media, substance use, or playing games to avoid thinking about or facing something else, such as a relationship conflict or a stressful assignment deadline.
