thinking about getting a t shirt that says
“Sport is the opiate for the masses”
that’s exactly what it is. the powers that be don’t want you thinking about what they are doing. they want you to be reading about how the patriots cheated this time.
oh, and MEEgan will not make it to 50 before swallowing a handful of pills or shooting her girltoy and then herself.
I was never a big sports fan (enjoyed playing much more than watching, and I’m not even athletic), but I certainly had more time to follow them many years ago when I had far fewer cares in the world.
The only people I deal with today who can talk for more than five minutes about sports are 1) childless young and middle-aged adults, and 2) empty nesters - probably because both sets have a lot less “cares in the world”.
