This Isn't A Debate But I'm Sure It Will Turn Into One ¤Frankenstein¤

I HATE SPORTS. I loathe and despise them. I'm sure that I'm in the vast minority there but it's how I feel and how I've always felt. I see them as nothing more than a waste of time and money. It reminds me of the old saying, "Those who can't do, teach." In my opinion, those who can't play, watch. Why? I can't see what satisfaction could possibly come from watching a bunch of buffoons running around like maniacs for no good reason at all. My dad likes to watch football and he can't really tell me why. He just says that he enjoys it. He dropped out of the same high school that I graduated from but he still, at the age of seventy-one, goes to every one of their games. I'll swear I can't see what he could possibly get out of watching a bunch of teenagers in Halloween costumes beating the living crap out of each other. Even if I didn't feel that way, I still would be appalled that many of those who participate make a whole lot more money than doctors, emergency workers, fire fighters, teachers and even the President of the United States. I like movies, music and some TV shows but the same goes for entertainers. It just shows that we have aren't prioritizing things very well and that the public, in general, has more money than sense. The outrageous figures some celebrities make is simply sickening. Do you realize that the Olsen twins made over a BILLION dollars last year alone? For what? What could two teenaged girls possibly do that would be worth over a BILLION dollars? Do you really realize just how much money that is?

We don't have cable TV or a satellite receiver. We have six stations and that's it. Why are there times when that junk is on every channel that we have? I sometimes think, okay, there's nothing on that worth watching so I'll listen to the radio. Wrong! It's on my favorite station there as well. There's no escaping it. When is the last time you ever saw televised sports of any kind interrupted, delayed or cancelled altogether because of a good movie? Never! You've never seen that because it's never happened and it you won't be seeing it because it never will happen. That's one of the many reasons I love this computer. Sports are never here because I won't let them be. I have a world of options.

What is it about all of that nonsense that makes some people of all ages act like their two years old? Why do they jump out of their seats and scream? Heck, some of them even resort to physical violence out of passion. It's only a stupid game, folks. Get over it. Why do some of them wager and lose their hard-earned money? I think you either love sports or you hate them. Personally, I hate them and will avoid them at all costs. With that being said, let the games begin.
