Honestly, I don't even mind government "wasting time" with stupid things like sports, or I wouldn't if they had done their job up to this point. Indicting rich athletes sounds like a welcome distraction from taking my civil liberties in the name of the War on Terror.
And am I the only one who thinks steroids should be mandatory for professional athletes? If you ain't juicin', so you honestly even care? We're paying you millions, so fuck your health. Firemen are paid a fraction of that to risk their lives, so there will be no boo-hooing from me.
Get out there and hit a ball into the next county, you overpaid and over-privileged apes.
I don't even care about sports. I was frankly shocked to find out there still was professional baseball. It all seems like a "no publicity is bad publicity" advertisement for a dying industry to me.
"Hey stupid Americans! You like criminals, right? Well come on down to the ball park and watch a bunch of druggies compete in the slowest game on Earth! Bring the kids, just make sure they have those portable video games, because this sport is boring as hell to watch if you're sober."
Non-jock? I played the big five: soccer, baseball, basketball, hockey, and football. Had to have had a partial amputation that looked like a compound fracture to one of my finger, bone sticking out and everything, but they reattached it and I have pretty good motion in it (though I did have to start playing guitar right handed instead of left... blessing in disguise, I suppose).
Not being a part of it a while lets you see how much of a giant circle jerk it was. I find athletics events as pointless as a fashion show, at this point. If anything, they are the leach sucking money away from our children's education, since our sports and schools are funded with the same money.
At least you didn't waste much time on it.

That's one way of looking at it.
ReplyDeletePros I care less about. Amateurs on the other hand...

Spoken like a true non-jock.
ReplyDeleteWell, around this house, we love sports - including baseball.

So how can you find baseball boring?

Which is why I never entered that realm in any capacity. So. I agree with you.
You left handed?
If so, that makes two of us!
