I will go out on a limb here, and will undoubtedly be flamed by many of the sports loving freepers here.
But I feel sports viewing is just over the top in this country — and has been on the upswing since the 60’s. I feel it’s a lot of the reason why decent men do nothing about the sorry state of our nation, our society, our families, etc.
Yes, it’s fun, it’s social, it’s stress relieving, but it has also made many a man soft, disengaged, dumber, fatter, drunker, poorer. We can fill stadiums with millions, but can’t get people to march in the streets about the sorry state of affairs we have today.
I just don’t buy into it myself.
"Dumb, fat, drunk, and poor is no way to go through life son..."
Seriously, though, I agree with you.
I agree!
