Watch the parade; observe these losers without a life trying to create a sense of achievement by bonding with "their" team:
Notice:Almost all of these oafs are fat oafs; not just a little heavy; obese. Fifty-plus pounds overweight.
I find it fascinating that so many of the loons who live to sniff jockstraps are so pathetically out of shape themselves.
This is retarded.
One reason this country is dying is that millions of its citizens are more concerned about "their" team (and know more about it) than they know (or care) about what the government (and big business) is up to...Originally Posted by swamprat
Someone pointed out that fuhhhhhhhhttttttttttttball is a great way for the elites to harmlessly dissipate the rage felt by the masses, which might otherwise be directed at them.
I know. I just don't get it.
This is a reason I hold out little to no hope for this country. Pro sports is a waste of time and money for fructose and beer addled gorillas to blow off steam.
In Minneapoils, the ViQueens have lost their first two games.
Bret Farve was supposed to be their messia.
I don't object to casually watching a game every now and then, etc. What I can't get a handle on is the obsession so many people have with watching pro sports, spending hours every week gaping at "their" team and being in a good or bad mood, depending on whether "we" won, etc.
We laugh at people who are Trekkies; people who know every technical specification of a Klingon Bird of Prey; every detail of Captain Kirk's biography. But it's not only acceptable to get that involved in pro sports, it's almost necessary to be considered a "regular guy" in the modern work/social environment.
It's weird...
