Re: Non-ignorant athlete/sports fan here- please read

And they can do that all they like. To each their own. Here is my problem with it. Problem with it is harrassment and discrimination if I myself don't enjoy it, don't have any use for it, and don't wish to participate in it. Because I am human, it is assumed that I must also partake in the 'fun', w...

Millhouse: (Fat Man should read this too) You say that youâ??ve â??never heard ofâ?¦ nerds, theater kids, goths, etc., ... bullying another group of kids.â? But the reason why jocks often become bullies is not because they like sports, but because the activity of their choice is validated and resp...

Re: Non-ignorant athlete/sports fan here- please read

But what pisses me off about the people on this board is that they believe that there is some kind of link between enjoying sports and being unintelligent, arrogant, rude etc. I'm not going to lie and try to deny that there are athletes who do look down on those who aren't good at sports or just do...

Re: New Stadium

I thought the article was going to say the event was bittersweet because of the people who were displaced but it was only because of the storm that collapsed one of their million dollar facilities. Actually, and I should have mentioned this as a refresher to my original post, the neighborhood of pe...

Re: Know Thy Enemy...

In the grand scheme of things, I'm sure this is way down on Milhouse's priority list. Quite correct, actually. But I do point out articles to 'further the cause', so to speak. The general attitude of most of the sports bores in here, especially the one shot posters seems to be to imply at the very ...

New Stadium

Going back to the content of my very first post here, the abomination is at last completed.

My heart goes out to all the families that lost their homes through eminent domain for this obscenity.

Re: Know Thy Enemy...

This is some petty ass shit to complain about... You almost sound resigned that I'm 'complaining' about it in the first place. As in, you have nothing poignant to say about it. But sure, I'll bite on this. Petty, eh? Well, sunshine, I wouldn't complain about it if it weren't a legitimate disruption...

Re: Know Thy Enemy...

Oh, and when they weren't congregating and hanging about another person's desk talking about it, they were sending emails to their departments (mass emails) reminding people to sign up for this or that, don't forget your draft picks, or yammering on over email about winners. I bet the boss LOVES th...

Re: Know Thy Enemy...

I can imagine what type of personality would come up with this idea and coerce the rest of the workcenter to play along. As I've mentioned in other posts, I've been harrassed at work by these twits to 'sign up' for their stupid activities, and just like in grade school, ostracised for not participa...

While you're at it...

...could I possibly be known as 'The Steamroller'? I had to give this one some thought, but now I think I've settled on my rank name. If you view my rank worthy of advancing, of course. :)

Know Thy Enemy...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fantasy_football_(American) It is time to set this one out front for examination. I've told stories about how much these groups of scummy brainless morons have annoyed me at work, but I never knew how ridiculously involved this is. And that ISN'T meant to be praise. It's...

Re: What's the worst sport?

It appears that much of the criticism of sports in these message boards is just for the sake of criticizing sports. They are demonized without valid argument and those who disagree are insulted. Itâ??s a good thing this isnâ??t called a debate forum, because that simply is not what happens here. It...

Re: What's the worst sport?

Whatever flavor of the month sport that happens to be causing its fans to act like the biggest retards. This is going to be my new motto from now on with popular sports. It's fans, players (in that pecking order) and their attitudes towards each other and towards non-sports fans that make sports suc...
