Sometimes I feel like tumblr doesn’t even care about sports.
I completely agree. I see maybe one sports post a week, if I’m lucky. Not a single person has posted about March Madness and talking about football on here is like pulling teeth.
I think Tumblr just isn’t conducive to sports. it’s not inherently fast enough. Twitter is great for that because if you’re all live-Tweeting a game together it’s almost like one giant living room. (which is the one thing I miss about being a rabid sports fan)
or I could be wrong and there’s a whole Narnia-style land of Tumblr I haven’t found yet.
Dude, tumblr’s the fastest thing out there. Do you know how fast gif makers work? Often things are up on tumblr way before twitter. I can get this kind of feeling if I go into a particular tag on tumblr, but then I’m watching it with strangers. I want to watch games with my friends.
Tumblrites are fast. when Tumblr started, though, it was a blogging site. it wasn’t a place to chat until the Tumblrites made it one. so the sports fans, who might’ve gotten into it early, didn’t. and now they just aren’t here.
that’s my theory, anyway.
also, I would watch games with you! I’m really fun to watch sports with when I care. just haven’t cared much anymore, not in this town.
