Men Persist With Sport Discussion In Bid To Avoid Potential For Moment Of Vulnerable Honesty
DETERMINED TO DRAG the absolute arse out of every detail of a recent sporting event lest they accidentally stumble upon a moment of vulnerability, a group of men can’t believe a football team persists with that formation week in, week out.
“Ah stop lad, and what was going on in midfield?” offered local repressed male Stephen Harmon, who has little to no interest in soccer but enjoys unguarded sharing of genuine feelings much less.
“If I had a magic wand now I’d clear out another 10 players, you need a whole new squad, absolutely,” shared Noel Carney, contributing so that the conversation never suffered a lull into which someone accidentally threw in information about their life.
Stuck in the corner of birthday barbecue for one of the men’s children left the men scrambling for details of the latest sports stories to fill the time as the faint strains of their wives’ conversations about their traumatic birth stories and familial cancer history could be heard.
“Would ya golf at all Tom?” Stephen ventured, artfully opening up the men to the possibility of a hitherto unmentioned arena of sport that could sustain at least 10 minutes of bland exchanges which kept everyone partaking safely protected from authentic emotions.
“You wouldn’t ever get terribly lonely, would ya? Even when you’re surrounded with the wife and kids?” blurted John, ruining a perfectly bland conversation forever.
