Back in the day, early 80s, I remember my father not wanting to know the rugby league scores.
Generally, the match of the day was played at 15:00 on a Saturday afternoon. However, it was also replayed early evening, around 19:00 or 19:30 I think.
My father would avoid the radio all afternoon and the evening 18:00 news (we only had two radio stations and two TV channels). Woe betide any child who let slip the score before he had a chance to watch the evening replay.
Life seemed simpler then.....
- jasonkester 9y agoI was in a remote corner of Kenya for the Superbowl this year, staying with some friends who have a place there. They're English, and the least likely people you could imagine to follow sports, so I figured I was safe. But sure enough, I'm sipping my coffee on Monday morning and in walks Ellie saying "are you surprised that [REDACTED] won the Superbowl?" First off, how could you possibly know that the Superbowl was even a thing, let alone find out about it here in BFE Africa, or decide to tell me about it. And, of course, back in civilization with NFL Gamepass a few weeks later, I spent the entire game thinking. Ah... She was just messing with me... Definitely messing with me... unless... Faaaaaaak!
