My dad was watching a football game and besides countless advertisements, I'd hear the announcer's voice. I just realized how pointless to society their job is. They just talk either about a ball moving on a grass field or the guy moving the ball as if we should give a shit he's moving the ball. It's ridiculous how much value is put into such a trivial action. Do people who consider NFL/NBA/MLB/etc a way of life even realize their precious games are just an excuse to attract idiots to a billboard saturated arena or beer-ad filled television? You can say the same about other television shows being a mere means for assaulting viewers with consecutive advertisements, but at least some tv shows tackle real issues that directly affect your life. What does sports do? There's all this unnecessary importance invested into the movement of a ball, a fucking ball. There is no other practical reason to care where the ball is moving. Every value put into the game is arbitrary. It's ridiculous how this movement of a ball is so glorified that it has become a multi-million dollar industry. Also ridiculous is how much respect the ball-movers get. Someone will buy a piece of shit shoe just cause Michael Jordan endorses it. Jordan should do the world a favor and endorse wrist slicing, we'd have a lot less idiots wasting oxygen on earth.
I don't hate sports (in fact I play b-ball just for fun), but I hate "sports culture". And I actually wouldn't mind sports culture if it wasn't saturating and dumbing down people just so they can be primed up to buy beer and overpriced shoes. Sports is EVERYWHERE and here's some of its negative impact:
-A huge chunk of the news and newspapers are devoted to retarded scores instead of important issues.
- People start stupid brawls over their favorite teams and start acting like drunk rowdy assholes over something so trivial.
-Delusional ghetto kids will play basketball like their lives depended on it in hopes of being that one in a million NBA superstar instead of concentrating on studies (schools require athletes to keep good grades to stay in the team but kids end up cheating on tests and homework).
-Cool shows on tv are cancelled to show some dumb game and even if the game is done, they still have to talk about the dumb game in a program of its own (WHY?!?!?! Haven't we seen enough of the game ENOUGH???? What more is there to add that it has to cancel Simpsons?...well it used to piss me off back in the early 90's when Simpsons was still cool, but now Simpsons suck so I don't really care anymore, but still the principle of having to knock a show out of its regular schedule just to review the game, what in the fuck is the point of going over the game again, some team won because they scored more than the other team, THAT'S IT, THE END)
-Traffic is caused by games all the morons rush to or go home from (gah! the traffic kills me the most)
-Stadiums occupy space that could have been used for something more useful (hell, the parking lot alone for these useless stadiums can be a school).
I hate how people assume sports is on everyone's mind as if it's more important than politics. People try to start small talk with me either about the weather or sports. They say dumbshit like "nice weather we're having, don't you think?" or "you see the game?" . Well of course I know the weather is nice you dimwit, I'm on the same planet. But no, I did not see the game. Why, was my life at stake? Oh did the home team win? Yippy! Who fucking cares if this or that team wins, it doesn't do shit for my life. Yet society worships these ball-movers as if they made such great contributions to the world by being an overpaid walking advertisement for Nike and Budweiser. I hate how people can't believe someone is not into watching sports. One guy asked me once "who's your favorite team?", I said I had none, and he's like "WHAT?!?!? how is that possible, everyone's got a favorite team". Ugh, it's as if there's something wrong with you if you don't keep track of the petty competition of grown men chasing after a ball like retards. Oh my God, Jeff Garcia threw a ball and some guy bumped into him.....yeah it's really entertaining to watch a grown man try to achieve a pointless goal. Why should I fucking care about Jeff Garcia or any other ballmover? You think they care about me? Maybe if he shoves that ball up his ass and gets decapitated by a helicopter, I'd watch sports.I hope all these "superstars" OD on steroids and die. Their funerals would make better entertainment than their worthless ballgames. I bet someone is gonna say, "fuck you, you're just a wimpy jealous nerd that sucks at sports"
Doesn't matter if I was some wimpy nerd or buff motherfucker, the sports culture still fucking sucks and is useless to society regardless of how I or you look.
Now I bet someone is going to say "fuck you, athletes donate money". Well it's the least those overpaid dickheads could do. They should feel guilty being paid millions to play a game kids play for free while a fast food cashier or janitor (people more useful and relevant) gets nothing.
