I hadn't watched sports in my 20's thinking it a waste of time. I starting watching in my 40's when my son had an interest and it's been a fun bonding experience. And in the US corporate world, it's one of the few things (besides the weather) you can discuss with folks that won't potentially get everyone all angry and worked up.

>won't potentially get everyone all angry and worked up. Did you see that ludicrous display last night? But also, those are plenty of things to bond over. Watching sports to bond must be one of the most shallow types of bonding. Anyway, I have yet to have a coworker get worked up about casual conversation and I don't watch sports anymore. Seems like a non issue.

They aren't looking to get into deep discussions about their dreams and fears, they just want to know the people they're working with are friendly and talk about something other than work for a bit.
