Anyone else find it weird how grown men are so "obsessed" with college softball? I understand if your daughter or niece is playing, I suppose. But just b/c your daughter played HS softball---isn't a reason.

It's just weird. And it's even comical how these people think they understand what's going on out there.

And I realize people have different opinions, I just don't get it. Softball is like all the stuff about baseball that sucks. Baseball is great, softball is like arena football or something. Just terrible. And I say this as a Bammer, of course if we sucked at softball there would be like 10 people that watched and talked about it and I wouldn't be making this post.

And BTW, Pat Murphy is great---I cheer for Alabama to win, but I sure as hell ain't gonna sit around watching and providing play-by-play commentary on a message board.

Kids having fun playing the sport. Family-friendly environment. Cheering for the ladies. Not sure what's wrong with it or deserves criticism. Frankly, I find softball more entertaining than baseball. I think you have a case of Don't-like-what-I-don't-like.

I actually enjoy watching college softball more than college baseball. It has a faster pace and games typically are over in less than two hours.

It's very obvious that you never played the game. Aside from the fact that I follow all things "Alabama", I played some fast pitch softball when I was younger and realize what a helluva game it is. I guess it's like the folks who never played baseball past little league that believe baseball is boring....you just don't know what you're watching.

Where is this obsession for softball by grown men you speak of? By grown men do you mean you and only you or you and one of your buddies speaking up for all other grown men?

Not even close to being as weird as this thread.

I guess we aren't allowed to enjoy women's sports? The OP has his panties in a bunch because we actually enjoy women's sports.

Well, this explains the thread. You are not intelligent enough to follow softball games and realize what is happening.

The little man/dumb man syndrome you have leaves nothing except for you to criticize something that you are not smart enough to understand.

This was a shitty idea for a post. Just like most of the "real" Tom Haverford's shitty ideas.

When you say something like this, that makes it sexist. Just shut the frick up. With all the babbling you just did, none of it made sense.

Clearly you've never seen John Cohen extend a game an extra couple of hours.

I find it enjoyable. Just wish they'd cut down on the wasted time at the plate, and on the mound.

They really do need to extend the fences and bases though.

the irony is that everything about your post is sexist. Softball and tennis are probably the only two women's sports I can watch. Anyway who fricking cares? I'm sure you're a fan of something that's perceived strange by others

Gymnastics and volleyball are better to watch than softball

You created a TL;DR thread about softball talking shite about people for discussing softball. You're a giant bitch. You would rather disparage people for talking about a sporting event than actually talk about the event. And college baseball doesn't carry half the entertainment value softball does.
