International I Hate Sports Club

Sergey, your posts are very weak. Don't call me prey when you hardly ever come up with anything of substance. And to answer Earl's post about me getting smug, or cocky, I don't feel that way. You guys make condescending posts toward me all the time, but when I do it back you guys get pissed off. So...

I admitted some football players do experience after effects, but it's not nearly as severe as boxing. And if you're calling me out for having no proof, then what's your guys proof? I'm going by what I have seen of these old athletes at hall of fame inductions, in interviews, etc. If football playe...

You don't. More like decent self delusion.

Well thought out, Earl, but I wouldn't expect a reply from him. His debate tactics are cowardly and he has a tendency to dodge people he knows he can't win against, or he will reply with one of his one sentence posts at best.

We actually discussed this heatedly in another thread. Seal, check this out. The link below leads to some interesting articles on what several school districts have done to reform their Physical Education programs. http://www.tolerance.org/teach/printar.jsp?p=0&ar=317&pi=ttm This is what we'...

Man, what a flawed post. No justification for sports in school? Really? How about because kids enjoy them and they do no harm to anyone, except maybe some of you who felt insecure in high school because you weren't a member of those teams . School would be dull without sports. The kids would hate i...

What I have seen meaning interviews and such with old time players, and what ESPN and other sports outlets report. A handful of football players do suffer effects from taking hits, but rarely are they ever that extreme. I know what the hell I'm talking about. My, my, are we agitated? You need to do...

I find it hilarious when you guys try to find the reason people watch sports. They do it because they enjoy it, bottom line. Same reason you guys play video games. Do your video games have any real value? No. Once again, you are straying big time from the point of this website. I don't give two shi...

Irrelevant.

The only thing I have to add to this thread is what makes sports tedious and video games not? You need to come up with a better debate strategy than one-line wonder posts. In many cases, they make little to no sense, like this one. What is your point here? Who cares if video games are tedious and s...

School's get a lot of money from athletics Unfortunately, I have to agree with the popular vote here. Schools get some local outfits to make things like jerseys, pennants, etc., sports paraphernalia, then the money gets funneled further into their sporting programs. If they actually contribute to a...

Football can definitely have some long term effects, but from what I've seen football players for the most part, aren't in too bad of shape when they get old. 'From what I've seen' Exactly what have you 'seen'? Are you too lazy or just too ignorant to do some real research on the subject? This is a...

Britains Got Talent First Semi Final. I am glad Susan Boyle and Diversity made it. Yeah Susan Boyle was a surprising inspiration. I'm glad she won too. Susan Boyle is another example of what I think is wrong with this world. That girl should have been recognized for her talent years ago. But no tha...

Hey, we're with you. Polite24 just doesn't understand the nonathlete's point of view. (And that is not meant to be an insult, Polite24.) The reason why I said that you should talk to your parents about this problem is because I thought that your teachers had persuaded your parents to send you to a ...

I hear you. I don't know when and where Sports became a back door for people to get into college in the first place. It might be an interesting topic to research for further and future discussion.
