About this title

Synopsis

From 2009-2012, the popular “Wasif’s World” blog appeared on The PostGame (and its predecessor SportsFanLive), the on-line sports magazine of Yahoo! Sports. Known for its tongue-in-cheek humor, the articles focused on everything about the wide world of sports from the ridiculous, curious, and annoying, to the philosophical, abstract, and unwritten. “Don't Talk Sports at the Dinner Table” is a collection of the most hilarious and inane of those essays. The rites of sports fandom are deeply engrained in our subconscious, as have been our religious or political beliefs. They turn us into silly people who can’t believe everyone else can be so brazenly silly. Be you a player, coach, scorekeeper, cheerleader, casual athletic supporter, or lunatic fan, you’re part of the culture of sports that creates argumentative foes and unwavering friends. We’ve all been there, seated next to fans with different sports allegiances than yours, and it’s only then that you notice something you’ve never noticed before — they are horrible, horrible people. . . who smell too. . . and probably kick household pets for fun. Cheer when your team wins, laugh when your friend’s team loses… but whatever you do, above all, Don’t Talk Sports at the Dinner Table!
