Not necessarily but how bad is it to listen to colleagues talk about something they enjoy…which could be ties to the cities that played, football, food, friends, family gatherings, or the concert. I don’t have to like something personally to engage in a conversation about it with colleagues.

If I had to guess nobody will actually talk about the game. It will mainly be people saying they just watched it for the halftime show and complaining that the commercials aren't what they used to be

People that don’t like sports reallly need to tell you they don’t like talking about sports. Especially around the SB and March madness. We get it, we also don’t like talking about it with you…
