People wonder why I don’t pay attention to sports. There are real problems out there but most are addicted to endless 24/7 bombardment. It’s fine and all to like sports but I run into more who are interested in the latest scores and stats than anything else.

I used football as an example but it applies to anything really. I expect it from the left and the moderates, but most of the right is just as bad.

There is ALWAYS an excuse, always something more important than taking an active involvement in their world. And then the election comes and they vote for whoever keeps the TV on ‘no matter what’.

No, not everyone has to run for office or march in the streets. But because so many paid so little attention, we now have the world we live in today. The problem is even worse though. the problem is many are content to keep doing the same thing and are content to complain about the results.

Yeah, never got interested in sports for the most part and the majority at work are. They do a lot of sports talk that bores the heck out of me, but if I mention concerns about Ebola or make a comment about the respiratory disease killing children I get told Ohhhh stop talking about depressing stuff. Wahhh.

It’s hard spending many hours a day with nobody really to actually “talk” to.
