    I think calling “virtually everybody” sportsball fans is kinda insulting. It’s like she never even heard about geeks before

      It’s a list of examples, not all have to apply to everyone. It’s OK if you don’t like other items on the list, too

      I think if we use that big ball of slightly wrinkled goop between our left ear and right ear, we might infer that she is simply supplying a list of hobbies and interests which people generally all have at least a few of. We might then use something called imagination to further supplement this list with unreferenced items in the original tweet because a thorough recounting might lose in spirit a bit of its charm with that style of execution

      sport is indeed a generic example of a person’s interest. probably billions of people enjoy sports, if you include all of them (hell, even just futbol).
