I'm mutuals with people whose teams I usually daydream would fold. But I can't let that get between us oomfs

the final rule of being a sports fan is BELIEVE IN MIRACLES

they should make a formula one with only drivers i want to see win

ah yes that’s my emotional support team that constantly ruins my mood and makes me want to kill myself

imo. the reason f1 so heavily advertises everything surrounding the sport (the glitz and glamor, the destinations, the lifestyle, the *drama*) is because the actual on-track product kind of sucks. the racing doesn’t really sell itself so they have to sell everything else around it. and once you blink the stars out of your eyes, it’s really blatantly obvious.

​you don’t need to build a cult of personality around your athletes if the sport itself is engaging enough. which f1 hasn’t been for a long while.

corporations getting involved in rpf is not cute it’s gross actually. they don’t care about fans, fandom, or the real people involved. they’re only interested in profit and they will use anything we give them to sell more stuff. there is no reason to put fandom content in front of them because they will take advantage of it. anybody laughing at the grindr comment about oscar, the f1 account posting about gax, etc is getting played like a fool.
