Sport Fanatics

Sport Fanatics

There are many college and university  coaches bringing home more than a million dollars per year, why? What are they really bringing to the average collage students future?

Why is it that we pay millions of dollars to some football or basketball players? Other sports as well have their big buck earners. Boxers make up to 20 million for one fight, granted they may be the world’s best, but come on, 10 to 20 million just to beat the shit out of another human being? Sounds a bit much to me.

Tiger Woods is now a billionaire, why? For hitting a little ball around some of the most beautiful landscapes the world has ever seen? He should be paying us for the privilege.

Hey look I’m not knocking Tiger Woods, I’ve got to admit to being a golf fan, but not a fanatic, he wins great, he loses, so what, it’s know skin off my ass.  

He is beyond a doubt the greatest golfer in my lifetime, but come on, why so much money for doing something he would probably do for free, or even pay to do if we lived in a real world.

The fans of various sporting events are jumping up and down, “we won we won”, they screech. Folks you haven’t won diddly shit, the players or player win or lose, and are making a ton of money for their effort.

How has the outcome of any sporting event changed your life, what has it actually given you for your future? for your families future? I’ll tell you what they have given you, a few moments of pleasure, and that’s it.

Come on folks wake up, hell, sex can give you more pleasure and it’s a lot cheaper than spending a couple hundred bucks for good seats at a basketball or football game. And you don’t have to fight traffic to get home, well in most cases you won’t have to fight the traffic getting home.  

The athletes jump into their 300 thousand dollar cars and head home to their 10 million dollar homes, off you go in your 5 year old piece of shit SUV and head off to your piece of shit home which you owe far more than it can be sold for.

But oh happy day “we won we won”, tell me, just what the hell did you win?

There are so many and I must admit mostly men who spend up to 8 hours every Sunday watching some sporting event, and on Monday for a good part of the year there is Monday night football, and these fanatic cry “ there is not enough time for my family”. assholes.

In the greatest parts of the World you have football soccer, Wow, talk about fanatics, as many wives will testify, you do not disturb these fans during a game without the risk of being punched in the face. If their team loses you may get punched in the face for not disturbing them.

Let’s change the subject and get into something of more value than our sporting fanatics. There are people who are actually giving something of value to our children are treated the worst of any collage graduate, our teachers and professors, who are amongst the lowest paid of any professional in the work force.

Just look at their responsibilities, they are preparing our children for their futures, for the future of the World.

Personally, depending on their qualifications their salaries should be at least doubled, not hard to do just cut that college football or basketball coaches salary by about 70%, after all who is giving more value to our future?

We as parents should be spending much more time with our children and a lot less on sports. We should encourage our youth to get involved in sports but not to take them too serious, they are just games that children play, and for many they remain to be children well into their sixties.
