I definitely make an effort to be nice about it to people in general. Even on Facebook I kind of kept my initial complaint about the fact that this is going to continue to a vague "dammit," leaving the details to the comments where someone would have to actually make an effort to learn more.m, Even more of an effort to become part of the conversation. In my experience, that extra step or two works really well. On the off chance someone is intrigued enough to venture in, they can immediately gauge whether the conversation is something they want to be a part of & I'm not spamming their feed with venomous football hate.

Going back to my face to face public intrusion, most people just accept it when I say that I don't watch football, which is nice.  Though there is the occasional person who assumes I watch football, is baffled when they learn that I'm not, and either makes a dismissive comment, stops acknowledging my presence entirely (love that one), or treats it like a novelty that must be discussed.  I'm not a fan of those people. They give me the same look most waitresses do when we go out I'm for breakfast & they find out I don't like eggs.
