One group of guys took a ball to the other end of a grassy field more times than another group of guys. Now what? We all analyze the bullshit for a couple days and then forget about it. Rinse and repeat every year. Other people get paid big bucks, and you're left wiping Dorito crumbs from your stupid goatee.
Why obsess over pro sports? So much time is wasted on them. Sitting on couches watching other people accomplish things. Go accomplish your own things, and stop feeding these millionaire players and the corporations shoving products in your face. Idolization is stupid. Go do something productive to better yourself instead. The Super Bowl was 10 minutes from my house. I didn't watch a second of it. Rode 30 miles on my bike instead. Had an awesome time.
Ok, ok... watching the Super Bowl as a social gathering is fine I guess. But the people who religiously follow "their" team (btw, comprised of players that aren't even from the respective cities) have lost perspective on life. This goes for all pro sports.
About a week ago I overhead a group of guys arguing for a full hour about a soccer ref that made a bad call... some player was/wasn't offside. Sounded like such a waste of time. Why is it so important that a team you favor accumulates more points than another team? How is this important to your life? Do people watch sports just to have something to talk about with other men to avoid empty silences and feelings of awkwardness?
Jeez. This post was a waste of time.
- Nostalgia? watching games as a kid or with your dad, pretending to be your heroes, maybe we want to hold on to those feelings._niko
