The concept of generalization, to me, is a major reason as to why the world is so polarized these days. So I hesitate to do it under any circumstances if it’s avoidable.
When it comes to this situation, however, I’m gonna generalize.

While I want to believe that this Alabama fan holding a sign that boasts of attending ESPN’s College GameDay live pregame show is a joke, it’s also fully believable that he’s fully serious. Because people in the South/SEC fans, and those who love to scream, “ROLL TIDE!” generally tend to care a little too much about college football.
Let’s see some of the reactions to this man’s nonsense, taken at face value.
Diabolical

Can't wait till that kid googles his dad's name in about 15 years and finds that pic. Surely won't cause any emotions. pic.twitter.com/9dKDOARxIu

I hope it’s just a sign and not true, but something tells me it’s 100% factual sadly

Had to single this one out:
If wife wants a new team to support now, the Carolina Disco Turkeys have room on our bandwagon
— Carolina Disco Turkeys (@discoturkeys) September 28, 2024
Because there’s apparently an “independent baseball team” named the Carolina Disco Turkeys. And they’re providing the exact type of moral support this man’s spouse needs in the wake of such inconsiderate behavior.
You gotta be a full-blown sociopath to miss the birth of your child for something sports-related. Like I love me some sports. I’ve covered them for a long time. It could be the Super Bowl, people. I’m gonna find a way to be there for my newborn.
I hope you, reader, agree with me and don’t actually embrace debate on this issue. If you live to be a contrarian, feel free to make your case in the comments. otherwise, looks like you’ve got a friend in that Alabama Big Boy from the College GameDay crowd. OK fine. I’ll show some of the counterarguments.
No weddings or babies on Saturdays during football season.

Why are people saying this is bad, id rather watch bama vs Georgia than a kid being born
— ND_Adam19 (@ND_Adam19) September 28, 2024
If the woman is having a child out of wedlock, that’s one thing. But then you’ve got morons like ND_Adam19 who can’t fathom anything more beautiful than an Alabama-Georgia football game. Pray for him. Maybe he’s just forever jealous that Notre Dame will never sniff those heights on the field.
Sounds like a tough thing to construct your life around…
