A key thing is to know that the subject is kinda unimportant. Small talk is a social protocol. It establishes trust and a bond and it kinda helps if the topic isn’t too heavy. That’s why sport is so great a topic. Most of what people say about sport has zero original insight. It’s just there as a way to make the bond and I wish I cared enough about sport to be able to use it for small talk.
