Sports in the way of learning

[blackdog4444]

Well I have a few words of advice for YOU:
1) Leave now and end this bickerfest peacefully
2) Fight and suffer, then leave.
3) Leave us alone [i.e. know your place, shut your face].
I'm not the one to fight, so now I'm giving you a choice for everyone with a straight mind's sake. I am not going to continue this - it'd be very childish anywho. Yes, I see how devoted you are to a low form of entertainment that has existed for a long time and I can take a good guess that any of the following may be true: 1)you are afraid that we are a true threat to your [only] form of entertainment and are trying to change our minds, 2)you can't admit that people all have different beliefs and views from yours and that you can't stand us expressing our points of view among ourselves, 3) you just like being a pesky fly that won't stop flying around.
Well, if the very latter is true, then it looks like it'd be time to bring out the swatter.

Again, no one answers all my valid points.

A threat? You guys seriously think one day you can get sports to no longer exist?


I don't see what's childish, I'm just trying to have a discussion with you guys, and all my posts are answered with an immature response.

[blackdog4444]

If that was an immature response, then what's the mature response? Agree with you?
There is no way we are giving up because of one jerk that thinks he can do anything. Your persistence is just being annoying. You will not be able to change the views of those who are so adamant about what they believe in, so there is no use in going any further.

[Detroitsportsfan08]

To actually give a response to the points that I made.

Who said I was trying to change views? It's obvious that you guys are very close minded to anything and everything.

[blackdog4444]

If I was close minded, I wouldn't be who I am right at this moment. Sports is just a small subject out of the millions more that need attending to. People who talk about sports all the time and say anything other than sports is gay are the close minded ones. They are the ones who should get the reform.

[Detroitsportsfan08]

You see, it's not that you guys don't like sports. It's the fact you have zero respect for what they bring that made me sign up and argue with you guys.

People who are die hard sports fans and know a lot about the game are often very smart people. Sports are a very complex at their most inner core.

[blackdog4444]

Not always. Just because someone makes something so simple and so primitively stupid seem so complex doesn't make them smart. There are more important people that Brett Favre. There are people that have done such sacrifice as making themselves go insane or dying for the sakes of others. What do sports personalities do - munch on steroids, get busted for speeding and dog fighting, and murder others. Obsessives only know what they love.

[Detroitsportsfan08]

I was talking about the complex things about the game itself, not the people involved.


And there are far, far more good people in sports than bad, so don't even begin to make that argument.

Obviously soldiers who died for their country are more of a hero than an athlete, everyone knows that, and often the athletes remind people that all the time.

Make themselves go insane? What the hell are you talking about?

[blackdog4444]

There are many people over history that have made themselves go insane for the sake of others. I am not just speaking on the behalf of soldiers, either.
And for sports being complex - what's so complex about throwing a ball around?

[Detroitsportsfan08]

There are many, many different schemes/tactics/gameplans involved with any sport. Baseball is referred to as the thinking mans game. It's far, far more than throwing a ball around.

[blackdog4444]

Baseball?! Please! All you have to do is hit a ball so far no one can get it! It isn't hard with practice!
And the tactics/schemes/gameplans you speak of are nothing more than a simple thought sketched on a board. Nothing of worth. Anyone can do it.

[Detroitsportsfan08]

You're being ignorant.

You don't understand what I am saying so there is no use. Look it up on google or something. No sport at the college, professional, or most of the time even High School level are just line up and play.

[blackdog4444]

Indeed, but the point is that it's just for the format of play. There is nothing special going into the whole thing. Something like sending another satelite into orbit takes a lot more practice to achieve compared to setting up some football play. When I say "a lot" I mean "A LOT!!!!!!!"
I bet they wouldn't dare try such a feat, even though you think it's so "complex". If it's so complex, then why don't we have a coach for president?

[Detroitsportsfan08]

Because coaches are not politicians and they don't work for NASA. Im sure if they would have studied and worked hard to be either, they'd have a much better shot. I guarantee most politicians or people that work for NASA cannot make any type of sports gameplan. These people play different roles in society.

You guys preach education so much, and I agree it's very very VERY important. But most athletic coaches at high schools are also teachers. Every pro and college football coach went to college, and you know for a fact they didn't just take a coaching class.

[blackdog4444]

Not very good teachers. All I've seen my P.E. teachers do is bitch and eat.
The everyday environment doesn't consist of SPORTS, SPORTS, and SPORTS. The everyday world consists of mathematics and other common sense things that shouldn't dare be ignored. Essentially, sports is something people do to rot away time they had left over from losing a job, coming home early, etc. It doesn't neccesarily mean sports takes geniuses to play, it simply means those people are soley dedicated to help those rot away. I may spend hours a day on the computer, but that's usually because I'm studying and the files are taking a long time to upload.
Hell, I have to say that the only thing sports are good for is getting excersize, which can be done on a treadmill or bike for 10 minutes or so. The schools could certainly do away with P.E. since the drop-out rate is increasing.
