A little background, I was never really into sports until my 30's. My friends have been their whole lives, so there's a stigma of me not knowing anything.

I'm in a group chat, friend A text a pic of his parlay for nfl playoffs. Friend B says "I'm not big on the rams". Friend C says "cuz it's gonna rain"? I type "lol yea". They're a fair weather team so it made me laugh. 

Friend A text "the F do you know?" to me. I said their play has been questionable last 5-6 weeks of the season and if they can't get their run game together, Goff can't save them. Friend A says "wow, we got Romo here". Everyone laughs. Now I'm starting to get piss. Not because of trash talk but because he's not saying anything to friends B and C for questioning his pick. Once again I feel like I'm getting singling me out. It almost like they act like I'm not a man because I don't know enough about sports. I know more than the casual fan but not in their eyes. 

There's a lot of back and forth through out the day. They think I'm just talking trash. I finally told them I was really pissed and watch out they next time they need help fixing shit in their house and buying tech stuff. I'm really handy in those areas so they're always asking for my advice. They don't know the difference between a hammer and a nail. 

I think what made it worse was when I told them that they may not realize but they're always degrading me because I don't know as much sports. Friend A said " we're just joking". I said doesn't look like it because you didn't say anything to the two other guys and they're the ones that questioned your pick. 

Friend A said sorry and he won't bring up sports if it makes me feel bad. I said sorry for overreacting and that we should be able to say anything we want to each other. I did it to calm the situation more than I was really sorry because I really did felt like it was unwarranted since I didn't questioned his pick and he insulted me. 


Things haven't been the same since. Friend A isn't really talking to me anymore. Was I being too sensitive? 

TLDR, told my friends off for insulting my lack of sports knowledge. Was I being sensitive or are they snobs?
