These people are commonly thought of as losers. I’ve even read something online about these people being a “scourge”. Well, if anything, it’s actually most people who are the real “scourge”, because most people cause problems at an overwhelmingly higher rate, than the losers.
It can be argued, that the losers, are only interested in making sure, that they are comfortable, and that their needs are provided for. This is problematic, for the people who are “responsible” for providing the loser, with what he/she needs. However, it is nowhere near as problematic, as what most people are looking for, namely friends/sex/money etc.
When it comes to things that are overrated, sports has got to take the cake. People are obsessed. I’ll admit, watching sports on TV is not the worst thing ever, but even then, people care way too much. And forget playing sports in real life, it’s beyond awful. I recently went to an arcade, and they actually had “sports simulator” modules. Why do people care so much about sports? It’s just pathetic.
As for sports. My son was a natural at most any sport he tried. He had coordination that certainly didn't come from me. He played baseball and football for years in rec leagues and school...he probably would have gone further but he messed up both knees pretty badly. He was good at basketball and could skateboard. He enjoyed it and he learned about teamwork and made lifelong friends.
My brother went to college on a football scholarship which I find funny since I am the one who taught him how to throw a football.
