"Do your parents know?" was quite possibly the most flawlessly delivered line in a theatrical production that I have ever heard uttered.

I so badly wanted the ending to be her finishing with "now _soccer!_ that's a sport I can watch." And they flip the table in rage.

The most southern thing about this is the guy scooting the donuts towards her as he asks if she’s thought about getting professional help. Baked goods to comfort her “sufferin” 🤣

THIS IS ME!!!!!! At work when I told my AVP I didn't watch football. She emphatically, with so much zest said, "THEN LIKE WHAT DO YOU DO!? " I said,"I like to read, go for hikes, shop, watch Netflix. There is LITERALLY a lot of things to do." Ha, she was so shocked and I'll be honest I sensed a little bit of disgust. Gotta love Texas. LOL

“I’m not gonna turn down free chicken wings” The tailgates and football parties be so much fun and full of food but I don’t know a thing about football😂

I 100% run my errands on football days, it is the best because there is absolutely no traffic. Literally the only time I've ever watched a game is on Superbowl Sunday for the commercials, and I don't even watch those games anymore because the best commercials are online the next day now. The one time I did watch a game I annoyed my stepdad because I cheered for whoever had the ball.

“Do your parents know” the sheer amount of utter disbelief in his voice made it so much more amazing

"I'm not gonna turn down free chicken wings. " Truer words never spoken. My parents would have big Superbowl parties, it was great to hang out with family, eat great food and console the family when their team lost.

I feel this woman's struggle so much... The only things I know about football: 1) If a team gets the ball to the end of the field, they get 6 points. 2) If they kick the ball through the goalpost, they get 1 more point. 3) Whichever team has the bigger number on the scoreboard is winning. And that's it.

I love when they accepted her, then she said she doesn't really like coffee. 🤯 As long as you drink sweet tea, she gets a pass!!!

As someone who could also give a crap less about football living in the South I felt this.I got fired for the first time in my life because of football. My mom got hip surgery and lived two towns away and the only day she didn't have help was Saturday. So I told my job almost two months in advance I'd need Saturdays off for about 4-6 weeks to help my mom but it was during football season, they thought I was lying to go to or watch the game and canned me. 🙄🤬 Only in the South....

“Do your parents know?” Love that line XD. Grew up in a house where EVERYONE loved football except me, I would just go play video games or draw while they watched the game. To this day my dad and brother still doesn’t understand why I would rather do something else besides sit and watch the game XD

As a Floridian, the "It's mostly flat around here" line really spoke to me!

Whenever a meeting was running long and I wanted to bail, I'd just say, "So, how is UT doing?" The three guys who ran the place would go go down the rabbit hole and I would just walk out.

This is EXACTLY how Rugby us revered in Wales. "You DIDN'T see the match?!" 😱🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 xx

As someone who grew up in Colorado and now lives in the south and whose coworkers talk nothing but football year round even though they know I hate football I feel this entire video. Especially the part when she talks about going for a hike and how it’s mostly flat around here. It’s cute what southerners consider hills.

This is a great metaphor for so many things. Every company claims to be so inclusive, right up until you have the wrong opinion. Plus it's really funny.

Finding people at a Home Depot to actually help you? She is delirious. I went a HD once to buy plumbing supplies and ended up mixing paint for 4 people, loading a stack of 2x4s and 2 rolls of tack paper before I left.

as a southerner who doesnt like sports, and neither does my family, i found this relatable

I can relate to this. I absolutely hate football with a burning passion. I got it from my mom as she hates it too and there have been people I’ve told who have reacted with shock. The most notable being my friend who when I told her she said “How unamerican are you?”

I'm not going to turn down free chicken wings. No truer words have ever been spoken.

Rofl "does your parents know?" Got me ... My dad hates sports but will pray Alabama wins so he doesn't have to listen to my mom being upset. He has said many times while I was growing up that a happy healthy relationship is where you both take the time to try and understand each other's passions and hobbies.. and even if you never understand it say roll tide every now an then 😂.

"Do your parents know?" is brilliant, haha! Well done, guys!

I've, lived in the South all my life for 69 years. I played YMCA football for 6 years through the 8th grade. My Dad was a collage football fanatic, he would watch two games on the TV switching back and forth and listen to one on the radio at the same time. I lost my enjoyment of football due to my Dad only coming to one of my games in those 6 years. My Mom lived in Atlanta and drove 250 miles and made it to many of my games. My Mom passed away at the end of my 8th grade school year, and next year in the 9th grade my heart was just not in it even the the high school coaches kept after me to play. I did run track in high school and needless to say Dad never came to any of our track meets. I made sure I went to as many of my boys games and outside activities as possible. I do enjoy watching a live game and have seen several through the years, but to spend my Saturdays in front of a TV worshiping at the alter of college football no way.😊

The best thing of 2020 was no sports, I didn't have hear all the people talk about sports, it was wonderful.

I’m a band kid. In my school, we all call every sports game “sportsball.” Most of us couldn’t care less about it. We love going to the games, but all the fun comes from pep band and the halftime show. However, we don’t say that we don’t like sports, because any band kid will tell you that marching band is too athletic, competitive, and difficult to not be considered a sport.

As the only woman in my department, I tried to be one of the guys in the usual Monday morning recounting if the weekend’s sports games. “That was quite a game, wasn’t it?” Their faces instantly reflected their suspicion. “Which game?” One of them asked. “Oh, I can see y’all tryna play me! You know the game I’m talking about.” It was clear that I hadn’t watched any of the weekend games. They drilled me with a few more questions, just to rub it in.

I was cracking up the whole time at this. This is exactly how I feel about my bf watching wrestling!!! FOUR out of the FIVE days during the week there is a frickin show on and it drives me up the wall !!! And then when he tries to tell me each person's backstory or "ohhh, did you see that move?!" I'm like 🙄🤦‍♀️ _I. DON'T. CARE !!!_ lol

I'm built like a linebacker, coaches all tried to get me to play in highschool...nope! I was a band nerd and a computer geek all the way. Though, I do miss catching the ocassional GA game with my dad since he passed away...he was a big fan of college ball and loved to watch them play.

"To be honest, no one knows how targeting works" Straight facts!

When she said "Touchdown...Tide!" I freaking lost it!!😂🤣

I just learned that it's true that gametime is a great time for running errands! So glad I got that tip last Sunday!

Well, at least she didn’t admit that she lost Maw-Maw’s Cornbread Recipe.

This is real! I was 19 years old, living in Georgia, when the conversation IN THE MIDDLE OF SUNDAY SCHOOL changed to football. At one point, I innocently said "there are more important things than Super Bowl Sunday" and I was attacked/belittled/berated by grown men for saying such a thing! Love your neighbor, my foot!

This is so true. I live in the south and most of my family and friends are football fanatics. I find it so boring, but find myself nodding and smiling. It’s just easier.

I sure don't miss these conversations while working from home 😂

"Doesn't hockey start in the Fall too?" Every Southerner, "Uh.... uhm... well, we don't know...."

I SO RELATE to this one because I don't care about sportsball and I don't drink coffee!!! Thank you for helping me feel seen, y'all! 🙏🏼💗👍🏼

As an Afrikaner from South Africa, this reminds me of Rugby in my childhood in the 1980's

As a Georgia native who also doesn't watch sports...man this was way too accurate in a hilarious way.

I literally feel sooooo much for Maya’s character in this skit…theater kid all the way who doesn’t like sports and lives in the south…😂😂😂

This was so my mom as I was growing up. Now that she’s in her 80s she likes to see the colorful uniforms (but doesn’t really care about the teams.

love the eyelids on "proud of you for living your truth"

"God's greatest gift to mankind"!! Great line!!!!!!

My "black Friday" shopping was always during the Iron Bowl. No one on the road, stores have just a few shoppers, sales staff gathered around a tv or a radio on somewhere in the background. BUT after 13 yrs of being involved with a High School band and Friday night's I learned plays, ref's calls and signals, songs played on 1st downs, players positions. Now I actually watch parts of games and have a clue. Still though shopping on Iron Bowl day is the best!

Literally how I feel every Monday morning

As many times as I’ve seen this, I love when Mya says Saturday is a great time for running errands. So true; especially in a college town. Of course you have to stay away from the University. Don’t ask me how I know this.

"You can actually find people to help you at Home Depot!" 🤣 I'm a 3rd party merchandiser, I don't work for HD but I'm there alot. So that line is on point. 👍

As a Canadian that doesn’t like hockey, I get it.

I married a man just as disinterested in sports as me. We actually go to the hardware store during super bowl or literally anything else we feel like during other sports times. :) 7th generation Texan, we southerners that don't really care about football do exist.

This is LITERALLY me!!! Not even kidding!! (Even the coffee part, lol!)

Thanks for this one. I too was born and raised in the south, and I really don't do sports watching. It's funny because you just have to fake it or deal with people who are baffled but the fact you could care less about their Sportsball team. That being said Go E-sports!

The school I teach at has "Jersey Day" where you wear a jersey or your favorite team shirt. I literally had to buy one only for this reason (chose my dad's college) and every now and then someone's like "hey they did good yesterday!" and I just kinda smile and nod and leave quickly.

Errands without traffic is the best thing ever! This is from someone who spent 41 years living in Tuscaloosa. IYKYK!

Her explanation of liking theatre instead of football despite being born and raised in the South was so relatable

“It’s all hockeyball to me.” Mary Fran, playing Bob Newhart’s wife on ‘Newhart.’ The best line in a tv show that describes me.

I am a Maya! I have attended many baseball, football, soccer and basketball games and cheered to the top of my lungs for my children and grandchildren. However they all know I don't care beans about sports. My son-in-law even asked me how in the world I grew up in the south without liking football lol.

As a native born, raised, and still resident of Ga, I don't care about watching sports that much, or drink coffee at all. I was starting to think I was the only one.

Oh, dude! This is exactly what I experienced when I first moved to Georgia... and I moved from North Carolina!!!!!

OMG - I can so totally relate to this lady. I went to the games in college, did my support then, but now not really into each and every game of each and every team all the time. If my college team makes a playoff, I might watch or at least have interest in the score...but I can't visit my brother's house during football season without knowing that I'll probably be condemned to watch at least 3 games on Sat. and Sun. And yeah, I'm a southerner.

I feel this way living in Oklahoma. Each time someone on my team brings up football (ie: every day) I tell them they remind me of the teacher from Charlie Brown because all I hear is "wom wom, wom womwomwom wom wom, wom."

"You work on a holy day?" I just had to laugh. I was a band geek so 4 years of high school meant Friday night football and all of my college was College Football Saturday (Roll Tide!). Once I left school 30 yrs ago Saturday has always been reserved for college football. When I did have to work on Saturdays, I always had football on in the office.

So true!! I wasn't born in the South....but lived her since I was 12....and I cannot IMAGINE life without football Saturdays!!!! GO GATORS!!!

I can relate. Iron Bowel Saturday is the greatest day to get stuff done. Love it.

"To be fair, no one knows how targeting works" Correct, including the refs

As a guy born and raised here in the south that does not like football at all I totally know how that conversation feels!! This was spot on!!

This is me..as a Texan. I did theater in high school and played in the marching band.

Spot on. I love going to super bowl parties because of the food. "So, who's playing this year?" I say.

Proud of you, Mya - just be yourself. Once, I went to a superbowl party...there were about 40 people there, but only 10-15 of us were actually watching the game.

A comedy video and a social message! Great Way To Go Southern Thing! Kudos to the writers and the actors (and everyone else behind the scenes).

I'm a southern man, and I don't watch sports, and this skit is "spot on"!!!

The greatest gift to humanity is sarcasm. Especially a well delivered dead-pan.

I'm from Brazil and I LOVE THIS CHANNEL. I learn and laugh a lot!

It's time for this video! Hallelujah! 👍

I played fb in high school. In 40 years since, I watched maybe 5 games. 3 kids in the band, we showed up at halftime & left before kickoff.

I feel this so hard. That awkwardness at the end when no one knows what to talk about... That is my life because I don't do sports.

This is Kentucky and North Carolina’s relationship with the rest of the south historically. Yeah, we are southern in most ways, but we have this other sport that we will just fight over ourselves.

This is like my office. They do all kinds of college sports event thingys throughout the year to raise morale. I have no idea how to participate because I don’t care enough to even know team names or how well particular colleges are doing at a given sport on a given year. I’ve been out of the closet of not caring about sports for many years. Very liberating to be myself!

That uncomfortable silence when ppl don't know what to talk about is so real.

I agree that football, particularly college football, is God's gift to humanity. I suffer through the Spring and Summer waiting for Fall. Reminds me of a time I was watching the Heisman ceremony with my extended family. My mom wasn't even facing the television. My cousin's aunt (she's not my blood) told my mother that she could move over so that my mother could see the TV. My mother said don't bother, I don't want to see the TV. I live in Florida and this was the year that Tim Tebow won the Heisman. All of us were quite pleased that he won and the speech that he gave.

When I was single in the 70s, before women got into sports, I would tell my dates, "I have two great qualities as a boyfriend. The first is that I don't care about sports. The second one you may find out by the end of the night." Women love honesty.

The best part about this skit is the credits. Maya (Mary Patterson Broome) is the one who wrote the sketch which means she probably knows about football.

“I’m not gonna turn down free chicken wings!!!” I am she 🤣🤣🤣

This is so true I grew up in Louisiana and lived in Atlanta for years.

I graduated from The University of Alabama over 20 years ago. But ..... I've never been to an Alabama game. Hey, I had to work retail jobs all through college so I was always working on Saturdays. Now, I'll watch on TV if there's nothing else on or I'm watching with other people. I always want Alabama to win - I just don't feel the need to watch.

Maya (i.e. Mary), I'm with you 100%. Not into team sports. Not unless you consider zone coverage during Christmas shopping a team sport.

Living along the Georgia-South Carolina line, it is the EXACT same situation if you don't like golf. "Coming out" to my boyfriend's family that I didn't like golf was one of the hardest, most anxiety inducing things I have ever done. After an uncomfortable silence, my boyfriend's father goes, "And you don't like football as well?" "No, sir." I said meekly. "Oh. So you just...don't like sports?" "Not really, sir." That broke the tension enough that we were able to move on.

When I lived in Alabama and the local high school had an away game, the whole town packed up and migrated to wherever they were playing for the evening. Football isn’t just a game, it’s a way of life. 😂

So true y'all!!

Lol I'm actually a southern girl that don't care a thing about sports but I love the sound of a game on the radio because my dad has always been into sports and the sound is nostalgic 😊

Born in Kentucky. I do tea, I don't do sports and I'm proud! 😁

Born and raised in Mobile, Alabama. I've never seen, been to, or cared about football for the last 72 years of my life. Growing up, there were no professional teams in LA (still aren't). Been a farmer all my life. Saturdays were/are work days and Sundays are the Lord's day.

Poor poor poor maya. Bless your heart

Sooooo true. I AM that girl. Don't hate me. I also am a theatre kid and don't drink coffee. I'll just back away slowly now. Judith 🎵🎭

The world needs to learn from this. Just because somebody says, "We should be more inclusive," doesn't mean that everyone should be forced to comply with a rule (like not talking about something) or else they're a big meanie. One of the things you learn as you grow up is how to just deal with it.

I feel her pain. I moved to Georgia ten years ago and this is so true, and like her, I am not really a sports fan. But unlike her, I come from the north, ever heard of a little place called Pittsburgh? My parents weren't religious, well almost not religious. They and my three siblings worshiped the Steelers. My mom would prepare these large snack trays... I mean the ones that Gordon Ramsey would make, just for a three hour game. I would always watch at least the last part of the game just so that when I went to school the next day I could at least understand part of the conversations 😂

Let's go sports team that makes me feel geographically significant!

You need to do one where the morning office coffee group starts talking about deer hunting, or duck hunting. There is a similar situation with those things as well.

I'm the same way she is! But I did go to the Carolina Panthers Stadium in Charlotte NC when it was new. But not for a football game--I went to see Billy Graham, and his musical guests Johnny Cash & June Carter Cash!

Worked at home depot in Florida. Game days were like a vacation. And we had regulars , school teachers and such, come in. Because they knew it was slower and could dedicate time cutting up their materials and helping with school projects for the kids. And definitely less traffic.
