38. How to care about sports (especially football) with Fox Sports editor Sara Carlson
I feel like sports are such a huge part of our culture in America and also globally and I’ve never been a big sports person so I always feel a little bit on the outside when sports things are happening. I see so many people that seem to care so much about how their team is doing and it seems like such a unifying, emotional event that I am kind of jealous of and want to be able to care about too or at least not feel like I don’t know how to connect when people talk about sports. So for this episode I brought on my friend Sara Carlson who is an editor at Fox Sports. Sara is super easy to talk to and though she lives deep in the sports world, she totally understood where I was coming from so she was the perfect person to chat with on this topic, and I’m happy to say our conversation totally worked on me! I’m actually looking forward to watching this year’s SuperBowl coming up this weekend and have some ideas to keep up with sports in general in a way that I’m genuinely interested in.
We talked about:
How to get attached to the storylines of players
Basic rules of football and how to understand the game
What to look for in 2023 Super Bowl
Why people get sooooo emotional about games and how can we appreciate that more
