The other day, I was talking to my brother in law about the Jazz. Since it’s the offseason, he and I have been hitting a few games (it’s his preferred sport) and I’m trying to come around to it. I don’t really remember the conversation, but I asked if he heard about RSL’s recent signing (Adam Henley). He hadn’t, but if a casual observer saw his reply, they might have thought that I asked him about politics or sex.
The level of discomfort present in his response to me was funny at first, and then depressing. I’ve been dealing with this for weeks in the office, and I think we all kind of deal with it at some point—people who need help understanding the offseason.
