If some argument does happen in the chat room, someone should say so here, so I can head over there if there is something worth seeing.
Not Everyone is a Brain-dead Sports Fan!

I'm not even An athlete. I don't think I'm better than you. but you're not better than me either.greencom wrote:Brigan,
You don't get it do you? The point I'm trying to make is that you and other "athletes" seem to think you are better than people that are not into it. Athletes are a dime a dozen and to me they're just performing monkeys.
Or as Don Rickles once said "An ape that rolls over and does tricks in a sandbox!" Yeah, Don Rickles and I have three things in common!greencom wrote:Brigan,

Damn all these ignorant assholes that say sports suck. If the suck, then why the hell do so many people enjoy watching and playing. Just because you're a weakass nerd with no friends, doesn't mean sports suck.
You guys are a bunch of assholes and you probably just suck balls at sports. Just fuck off and go kill yourselves.
This is wrong (not that you are Earl). not only do the bully gets a good treatment, but sees no reason to stop being what he is.Earl wrote:At many, if not most, high schools in the United States, the members of the football team are automatically elevated to the top of the social heirarchy. A football player who is an arrogant bully is treated the same as a football player who is a decent kid. No distinction is made. This is what I saw as I was growing up. I doubt much has changed since.
Good evening Earl:Earl wrote: . . . . . let's not forget the fact that more than a few on the other side have bad attitudes of their own. (Do many of those in the sports crowd condemn these bad attitudes? For example, I would ask you this question: Are the majority of high-school football coaches in the United States morally opposed to any of their players bullying physically weaker, nonathletic boys at their schools? I know some are, and I honor them. But I'm not at all convinced that the majority are opposed to bullying.) And I can assure you that in the United States, where so much emphasis is placed upon sports in the schools (certainly much more than in European countries), those in the sports crowd who have wrong attitudes have far more power than the teenage versions of Fat Man. In fact, the teenage versions of Fat Man really don't have any power, socially speaking.
