How do you handle working with new coworkers that only talk about sports 24/7? It’s literally the highlight of my day if someone diverts attention to “what should I have for lunch?” I’m not trying to red flag toxic masculinity or anything but they’re literally so single minded about statistics and betting and detailed in their hours of discussion it makes me wonder what else they have in their lives? The occupation is men’s clothing, not specific to sports, and I’m the new person not them.

I mean, as long as they're doing their jobs and only talking sports during their down time, does it really matter? Don't get me wrong, this would bore me to tears as well. But I also realize that my interests would probably do the same to them, so I'm not going to judge. Just tune them out as best you can and go on with your day 🤷‍♀️

You reminded me my time when I started dating my husband before getting married, all he would talk about was sports and I wasn't interested. I guess showing them clearly that you are not into the same topic as them is one way to get rid of these conversations and have them talk about something else.

I enjoy any opportunity to ignore whatever my coworkers are talking about, and they know I don't care about sports. So when they start going on and on, I just tune them out and do my own thing.
