re: I hate basketball season

OTOH, while basketball is pretty popular in every region of the country outside of SEC states, in the SEC states south/east of KY-MO-ARK and north of FL, basketball is so reviled that in order to be one of the "cool kids" you pretty much have to hate basketball and mock it.

Sup wit dat?

Football has more down time than actual time with the ball in play, by a large margin. This allows it to be more of a social event and allows every john, dick, and harry to be an armchair QB (or coach). When watching football, you can literally critique every play in detail with your buds, by using your extensive knowledge you gained being the 2nd string long snapper on your highschool's JV squad back in 1994. Add to the fact, most in the South didn't grow up playing basketball so they can't relate.
