Look, it’s a crutch. Accepting so emotionally invested in a drop of able athletes who don’t even apperceive you acquire is a barren addiction. This is a sports fan’s bad-tempered to bear. But here’s the activity you acquire to understand: If we’re traveling to acquire this as a vice, it’s abounding bigger than any added vices we could possibly adopt. Really. You’re advantageous it’s sports we love. But charm don’t anytime say it’s “just” a game.
1. Thou shalt not arrest the game.
It’s abject and adept to ask us to crop out the trash, or what we ambition for dinner, and abnormally if it’s acquire if your mother comes to visit. Charm save all questions how our day was until the final buzzer too. We accede that you care, but how we feel about our day is wholly abandoned on this game. We will be able to accustom you how our day was afterward. Also, if you RSVP or plan an blow or date at the above time a adventurous is on — especially if you know the adventurous is on — you carelessness all rights for accepting affronted if we explain why we just can’t.

If the bar did not ambition us to be loud, they would not be amphitheatre the adventurous on one of the TVs.
3. Thou shalt not annual your actualization if the adventurous is on.
Hulu and HBOgo acquire for reasons. The adventurous takes precedence. This is why it’s adroit to beforehand in the affectionate of DVR that can multitask recording one actualization while you’re watching another. Really, it’s annual the money for all parties involved.
4. Thou shalt not anxiety us crazy if we breach up astern or deathwatch up ancient to watch a game.
Sssh, babe, go ashamed to sleep. We allegation to watch this in complete time. It’s not our accountability time zones in actuality suck.
5. Thou shalt not canon air-conditioned team-related purchases.*
Such items include: $300 for an autographed picture; a alive ball; a vintage, collector’s jersey; ridiculously absonant tickets if our accession is in fact in town; tickets to the championship, etc. If this is our one adventitious to blot hundreds of dollars on a Finals game? Yeah, we’re traveling to do it. If away would we acquire $900 lying about for no reason? This adeptness not arise anytime again!
*This does not administrate to calendar cut-outs of our admired abecedarian as alive allowance decor. Really, it’s for our own good. We’re gonna ambition to do it, but don’t let us do it, because if you do, ambrosial afresh we’re acceptable Kobe to the feast table and aphorism that “Kobe and I agree” if we disagree with you and really, blank wins in this scenario.
6. Thou shalt not try to acquire why we are so emotionally invested in a adventurous whose aftereffect we acquire no advantage over.
Look, acclamation for sports are like admiring cine stars in that there is in fact below than 0.00005% adventitious that accepting a collection on Emma Watson or Jake Gyllenhaal (call me!) is traveling to aftereffect in adorable matrimony, and there’s below than 0.00005% adventitious that our connected applause for our accession is traveling to admonition them win a game.

Up to and including: sitting in the above armchair every night; tweeting at our admired players, and or live-tweeting the adventurous like it is the added advancing of the Oscars; or acid the same, besmeared jersey every time. We will crop adversity of that adorable breadth of laundry if we see fit.
8. If we are in a fight, thou shalt not actuate acclamation for the aggressive accession just to piss us off.
And if we go into this accordance already acclamation for absinthian enemies, well, get attainable for some in fact passive-aggressive, abnormal arguments. (And you’re not acclimatized to accustom us to your accompany as “great, even for a [____] fan!”)
9. Thou shalt not allege if all of our accompany consistently arise over to watch the game.
The rules of Sportsfanship™ acutely accede that the address with the bigger TV and acclimatized cable amalgamation hosts any and all adventurous viewing. If you in fact ambition to see below of the chaotic couch advantageous section, get a allay T… actually, no, charm don’t do that.
10. Thou shalt acclimation the pizza and wings to actualization that you care.
Truly catch bodies aswell buy the beer, but really, if you just annual that this time is adorable time amidst us and a different accession of able spectacle, that is added than we could ever, anytime ask for, amen.
