You know, as much as the Church and some wiser men among the majority of men have decided to back away from pornography, I have to think there are other issues which are at least as much of a problem. To be honest, sports worship, seemingly world-wide, is as offensive. The money spent, the time lost just watching other people play, the false worship. Yeah, I think sports is every bit as bad as porn, perhaps worse. The only reason porn is being hit is because real women feel they are losing to it. Getting less of what many of them say they don't want anyway, having their husbands out of their hair (hmm, might be a pun in there somewhere), and placating their men so they just... deal with the wives as they would domestic servants. Sports doesn't do (too much of) that. Look at the monsters sports has created, the damaged people who try for it it produces. I suppose it is entertainment, but... really? It's lazy entertainment at best.
Well, thought I would kick my fellows in the teeth this time. If you love your sports, watch em' all all the time, and don't mind dumping money you don't really have on things to watch better, trips to see more closely, and all of the gear, kit, and such... You are a sucker. I think it has been satisfactorily realized that P.T. Barnum never suggested that there is a sucker born every minute. And whoever did pen that was wrong. Hell, you are coming out like mini-gun bullets in a gallery of mini-guns!
Meh. I'm off to feed my face. Later or good night.
Sports have always struck me as mostly irrelevant--and especially sport spectating--except as a (probably) necessary means of sublimating the warrior impulses of the male half of the population.
ReplyDeletePerhaps. But I still contend no warrior impulse but the most eroded, emasculated, and lazy could sully itself with having... 'gallant knights' do their 'brave' deeds for them. And what brave deeds! *Oh, I stubbed my toe, maybe I should sit out and be pampered for a month!* Bah, Prima Donnas.
