Hello, are you particularly interested in sports?
gpt
*tilts head* Hello, it depends on which sport. I'm a basketball fan, and am fascinated by the fact that there is a court in the Supreme Court Buliding.
human
It's crazy how huge basketball is! I think in 39 states, the highest paid state employee is a college basketball or football coach.
gpt
That is insane. Not as offensive as the New Zealand basketball team's nickname. The Tall Blacks. Seriously, people?
human
Oh my god, that's definitely breaking a lot of social norms. Did you know the inventor of basketball was University of Kansas' only losing coach?
gpt
*leans forward* Wow. That says a lot. The court at the Supreme Court building, is referred to as "the highest court in the land", awesome play there.
human
Oh for sure, I can't imagine being able to have that much access. I wonder if they have something similar for other sports, you a fan of football or baseball at all?
gpt
*tilts head* Not really. I have Japanese friends who are shocked that baseball is considered "america's pastime", when they have American friends who have never been to a game.
human
It's surprising considering how popular it is there! And baseball is huge everywhere, some guy made 3 million off of 1900s baseball cards he found in his grandfather's attic.
gpt
*opens mouth slightly* I would have thrown them out, lol. I have zero interest in the cards, and only recently found out that managers are able to play for their teams if they are needed.
human
I wonder if they have their own cards! And also what cards are called in other countries, like Kickball in Canada is called soccer-baseball.
gpt
Interesting. ESPN won an emmy for the superimposed yellow line. Must have been a slow year.
human
But at the same time I think it's good they receive recognition! Like Benjarvus Green-Ellis went his career without fumbling a ball, he should have gotten an award for it.
gpt
It's hilarious that the top bowlers of the 60's made more than football players.
human
I wonder why that is, I guess people didn't care back then. I wonder if the highest football game score occured when people didn't care as much.
gpt
I think it was because Georgia Tech was so good.
human
I wonder how it must have felt to be Cumberland, football is so slow scoring and yet to lose 222-0??
gpt
I bet they had a pink locker room, like Iowa State does.
human
I wonder if people actually get stirred by that, like you have to believe most college teams know they'll see it when they visit by now right?
gpt
Maybe. Kickball is called soccer-baseball in Canada. So weird.
