re: #176 thedopefishlives

My home state has a professional football team, but for all that, their sportsball of choice is basketball. Half the high schools in Indiana don’t even have football programs; mine was one of them.

Hilariously, the best professional sportsball teams in Texas are the basketball franchises. Between the Spurs, the Mavs, and the Rockets there are 8 NBA Championships. The Dallas Cowboys have 5 Super Bowls. The Dallas Stars have 1 Stanley Cup, IIRC. The other teams are also rans. The Rangers and Astros have each gone to the World Series once, and that’s it, and the Houston Texans are skilled at snatching defeat out of the jaws of victory.

You wouldn’t know that the way this state wastes a lot of fucking money on football. It’s not unheard of for school districts to spend $50 million on a new stadium while vocational and art classes get cut.
