As my closing argument for sports (and probably the final nail for this thread) I leave you this:

That settles that.
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:

"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."

For context, this is the previous verse:

"Hi Jesus" -robvalue

I'm sorry, I apparently love to create interesting commentary with my
bizarre thoughts.
It is great fun getting much amusement from you guys.
Thank you again, and I hope I entertain you also. Really.

Here in Democratic WNY we have paid for 2 stadiums and got one.
Yeah, the one that is currently filled with several thousand tons of snow.
The country, state and county are basically broke, running on borrowing.
And the talk here is how we need a new one.
Why are all your posts haikus?

I think the OP has a partial point. Personally team sports like rugby and football bore the fuck out of me. The only sport I actively watch is boxing.

Sports aren't a waste of time however sports stars are paid way to much.

Posts 89-91 are my faves. Make me very happy.


"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Sports is like religion, if you take it away from them, what are they going to do ?.

Rape, pillage, put babies heads on spikes...that sort of shit - or so I've heard it said.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

You never know, that could have some truth in what you said.

I'm not a fan of watching team sports & I really think the NFL needs to start paying taxes, but it'd be pretty damn fascist to ban them cause one internet jackass thinks they are a waste of time & money.

Instead of teaching science technology engineering and math? How much money is spent at your local school or college or stadium that could be better spent somehwere else?

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this a fallacy of relative privation?
