What is wrong with sports?
What is wrong with sports? The extent of my Blog is to decipher what is going wrong with sports and why pro sports are a joke and overrated. This is quite an undertaking. I like sports. I know that. I play Fantasy Football. I watch the Red Sox on TV and on MLB tv. I honestly do not know what to do. Maybe fans are what's wrong with sports. Are we stupid? Are we ignorant? Why do we keep following a bunch of dishonest, arrogant and selfish players? Do we have anything better to do with our lives? We spend a fortune on tickets. We buy and wear memorabilia. Do we worship the wrong entities in our lives? I hope someone can point out to me why we follow sports the way we do. I am at a loss for words. Someone please help me understand why we cannot turn away from something that is such a bad example in our lives.

Kevin-
ReplyDeleteI don't think it is necessarily just sports figures that are the problem, I think it is society as a whole. Politicians, celebrities...etc- they are all lousy role models if you ask me. Britney Spears, Chris Brown, Lindsey Lohan, Barney Frank, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid?? The whole lot of them are messed up. Maybe we should stop going to their movies, downloading their music or electing them into office? I feel your frustration! Perhaps when (or if) the general population gets their own priorities straight, we can see REAL change? Who knows. I guess if someone had the answer then we wouldn't be in this situation..hmm.
