Chart Of Key Phrases To Use When Talking About Sports

SPORT SEASON KEY PHRASE

FOOTBALL July to February “They got some really bad calls.”

BASEBALL March to October “Some of those calls they got were really bad.”

BASKETBALL August to March “I can’t believe some of those calls they got.”

ICE HOCKEY Eternal “Can you believe some of those calls they got?”

To you, these phrases may not seem to have a whole lot of meat on them, but believe me, middle-aged white Anglo-Saxon Protestant males can use them to keep a conversation going for hours.

Here’s an interesting Ethical Question you might care to think about: if you go to a meeting of executives, and just by chance it happens that not a single one of you is a middle-aged white Anglo-Saxon Protestant male, do you still have to talk about sports? Or could you, in that one meeting, without telling anybody else, switch over to another topic, such as the theater? (“I can’t believe some of the reviews they got!”)

My personal feeling about this is, it’s not worth the risk. Somebody might report you.
