thinking abt barriers between sport and spectator and the correlation to perceived interpersonal relationships between an athlete and every other human, family or fan.
#saw a video of a football man squealing and singing the paw patrol theme to his daughter in a silly voice#and hugging her in full fb uniform when she cried on the sidelines and giving her a ball he scored with to comfort her#and wearing bright pink cleats so she could spot him on the field#hockeys could never. are literally unable to. because there is glass in the way#and so now hockeys have their Ferda Boys all day every day reputation#which in turn makes the hockeys make it truer which perpetuates the stereotype which makes it truer and it’s a vicious cycle#there is a physical barrier keeping them from displaying meaningful interactions thus limiting how much of a ‘family man’ a hockey can be#not that physical touch is the only way to have a meaningful interaction. but it is the most visible#and thus the most perceived and the most dissectible. you can pick it apart.#this is a good post i like it. picasso#im going to save this post for a rainy day and then hella expand on it
