Football – along with “professional” wrestling – is the Heavyweight Division of the Celebrity Worship Club where watching 300 pound men in tights making 6 and 7 figure salaries knock the piss out of one another will somehow make the lives of those who witness this activity better and more worthwhile.

The Beautiful People Division, which serves a similar purpose (occasionally sans the violence) is currently headed by some Armenian American Princess named Kim Kardashian. She is known for the substantial size of her gluteus maximus muscles, so large they have been assigned their own zip code and are believed to have an independent weather system. As is the case with the Heavyweight Division, watching and reading about the comings and goings of the members of this division is also believed to enhance the lives of the average citizen.

In the early days of the American Republic, there was also a Political Division. It was disbanded due to loss of interest after the election of “progressive” hero Woodrow Wilson, father of the One World forerunner of the beloved United Nations, the League of Nations, the Federal Reserve and – drumroll, please – THE INCOME TAX!

In that vein, a wag once lamented the numbers of “citizens” (and I use the term VERY loosely) who take no interest in politics by correctly remarking “You may not be interested in politics, but trust me when I say that POLITICS HAS A KEEN INTEREST IN YOU!' That's a variation of a comment by Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. who also correctly opined in 1884 “...as life is action and passion, it is required of a man that he should share the passion and action of his time at peril of being judged not to have lived.”

Want to do something that might actually have some impact on YOUR LIFE more important than watching those 300 pounders beat the crap out of each other? You can start by visiting this site and learning how YOUR rep and senators are screwing you and your kids and grandkids out of their birthright:

I've always understood college football to be the farm system for the NFL.

I'm talking about all student-athletes, the vast majority of whom do not go into professional sports.

Maybe they should boycott the election as well to show their outrage.

Thereby raising the IQ of the state by tens of points and lowering the felon content as a bonus.

Somehow my life will go on with the same levels of peace and contentment that I have always enjoyed even though this option has been withdrawn from me.

Good bye NCAA. I will somehow manage without you and your ilk. I will also continue to manage without professional sports. None of what either venue offers interests me one whit.

My oldest daughter and I just booked a flight to N C for November.

Going to visit Charleston and Waxsaw where my fav Democrat president (Jackson) lived.

I’m familiar with Charleston, WV, and Charleston, SC, but I did not know there was a Charleston in North Carolina.
