and you know what I don’t even care if someone did start watching bc the players are hot as long as they’re normal we’re all here enjoying the sport together
another thing i'll say is that women contain multitudes. many straight women who watch the nhl def do find players attractive but if you look at who their favorite player is it's Chopped Baldotron 5000 whom they like bc he had a sick goal 5 years ago. theres way too much nuance+
if you read that article and your first thought is that this is the fault of female fans, or sharks fans in general, instead of a gross and harmful misuse of journalism, you are part of the issue
seems like a good day to share this!
thank you so much to everyone who contributed to my masters thesis. i’m super proud of it and i couldn’t have done it without you all 🫶🏼
this is an incredibly difficult space to occupy but that’s why it’s so important that we’re all here

I genuinely can’t do this women enjoying sports argument anymore. it’s ridiculous that people can’t grasp we are humans and not some alien species who must have different reasons for participating in male dominated spaces. we just enjoy the goddamn sport.
the timing of that fucking article to suggest women only watch sports for the parasocial aspect of it and how attractive the players are after everyone I know suffered through that dallas game that mind you didn’t even have celebrini in it is truly something
i’m ngl man it does bother me that celly is a generational talent who is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about hockey and yet so much of what he gets asked about is fanfiction and who did the dishes this week and whether smitty’s baking is good
