Yeah but DIGI those fantasy sports guys probably spend WAY more on sports than nerds do on comics. Hell I got tickets to the kings warriors game for 150 bucks. 49ers game cost me 300... Plus food and travel?
Comics are what? 10 bucks a week? 520 bucks a year?
Comic geeks are more frugal with their money :-P.

Not necessarily. Where I used to live, I'd watch sports with a group of friends every week, and we could talk about literally any sport. 98% of the weeks, all it cost us was the cost of maybe a six-pack and some chips. The majority of sports fans make one big purchase - a good TV. After that, it's no more expensive than having a regular social life. And the 1-2 games a year I'd go to were no more expensive than, say, a single trip to a comic-con and all the stuff I'd buy there. Anyone who goes to NFL games more than once a decade is a chump...overpriced BS, and easier to watch on TV. I'd pay $25 or so for decent seats at awesome games (pro or college).
You're also talking about general sports fans at this point, not fantasy sports. I think we've left ANY semblance of geekdom at that point.

I wish I had cooler examples. My public geeking is mostly limited to highlighting differences between movie characters and their comic counterparts.I did explain why Wolverine would beat Baraka to one of my less informed friends one time though.
The best I have is the first year I was at University I was in the library working on a research paper when I walked passed some guy who was saying "Witchblade can beat Superman, because she has INFINITE MASS!!!" I promptly educated him and the people he was lecturing and went on my way.
An other time I was at my lcs getting my weekly comics and some guy was telling a girl he was with "Have you heard of the Hulk? Eventually he gets so mad he turns Red." but I left that alone and went about my business.

Really? That's what did it?! I feel like there's more to the story here. I wouldn't mind explaining stuff if my girl was interested.
However, it did frustrate me having to constantly explain things to her... Felt like training a new guy at work. She just never seemed to 'get' anything I said.
