On the other hand, there's a more social ritual (which I think is actually more common than the crazed football hermit lifestyle) wherein people gather around, share foot and drink, casually enjoy the sport, and talk about it and other bullshit. It's kind of like a little feast where ypu chill out, drink and eat, and there's some entertainment if you're into it or you can ignore the game and just shoot the shit with people, or be comfy and shitpost on the forum or whatever else in the presence of other human beings. I mean the whole ritual is very american and not exactly healthy, but I guess I just mean to say there's a more low key way that people do the football thing that I didn't expect until I got lured into it with food and booze. Sorta feels like a mini thanksgiving you can do every sunday in the fall.
Doesn’t even know what day we watch football lol.
But yes we share foot and drink. -

There are two theories on where the name “Roughriders” came from. One states that it derived from members of the North West Mounted Police who were called Roughriders because they broke the wild horses used by the force.
The other states there was a Canadian contingent that fought with Teddy Roosevelt in the Spanish-American War. Roosevelt’s troops became known as the Rough Riders. Following the war, the Canadian troops returned home, with some of them settling in Ottawa and the rest moving west. The colours worn by Roosevelt’s infantry were red and black.

Regina went 0-4-0 and was outscored 74-18 to finish second in the Western Canada Rugby Football Union standings in 1910. Regina then finished in first place in each of the next 22 seasons of competition and won 15 Western Canadian championships in that span.
In 1921, the national championship — the Grey Cup game — was played by teams from Eastern and Western Canada for the first time. The first nine Grey Cup games had been contested solely between teams from the east.
Regina played in its first Grey Cup game in 1923 but lost 54-0 to Queen’s University. That was the first of seven appearances in a span of 12 seasons for the Roughriders, who dropped all seven.

Well, sure.
The casual football fan is not at all what I was describing and I do not think that the casual football fan is of the homosexual and low IQ variety.
It's only the hardcore fan that behaves that way and is the way I described.
If you just casually watch a football game, have some beers, and eat some food with your wife/girlfriend/friend/neighbor, that's one thing.
If you do that with those people while rapidly transitioning through all of the emotional states based on the performance of your team, wear the memorabilia, jump, shout, throw objects in either rage or joy, become angry/depressed if your team loses, then you are of the homosexual and low IQ type that I described before.
Moderation is key. If you get too invested in just about anything, it makes you gay and dumb. Lol -
