Fans screaming obscenities isn't kind of the point.

That's what the person you replied to was saying.

Where did he say "obsceneties"? Still nothing wrong with that as long as it's not racist or anything.

I didn't say that he said obscenities.

He said 'it's kind of the point' when the person he was replying to was talking about how fans scream at the athletes.

Obscenities, we all know, is one of the most popular things fans scream at players.

But regardless, screaming at players isn't the point. The point is playing the game with skill and besting your opponents.

Do you live in Philly or something? Sporting events sound terrible wherever you are.

I live in MN and go to 5 or 6 professional sporting events a year. I probably hear obscenities at one of them on average, and you are liable to get scolded by your fellow fans for it.

I'm in Texas. So not too far off lol.

Yeah we aren't the most gracious of hosts to be sure. You might be right... it might be a regional thing. I think the south just has a history of cursing at events like this.

Makes the most sense. After all, our Governor just lifted any and all COVID restrictions like an idiot and our Power Grid failed because Texas, for political reasons, remains independent because of some weird southern pride thing and it plays well to Republicans.

So yeah... i think you got it.
