Football is great but you're right, babies and a steamroller is a can't miss TV. That clip with Chomsky on the Jumbotron was groovie.

I have a "unique" perspective on this subject because I was an athlete who made it far enough to the point of getting paid to play my sport, and that Shit changed the way I look at the whole of athletics
I used to watch sports when I was younger because 1 I knew some of the athletes in my sport 2 I watched to study the game and to observe the mechanisms behind the play, the strategy and the philosophy that it takes to be a synchronised unit
People get upset at the military comparison but the camaraderie and such really resembles that situation
Moving forward, I don't watch my sport anymore since my career ended
There's more than a few reasons I don't watch anymore, but part of that is because of my situation, that I won't be making money playing the game, I realized I was never a "fan", or "fanatic" of the game, I was a student of the game
My studying of the game is over and so is the time I spend watching

Thank you! I absolutely despise pro sports. I always have and I always will. Mr.Chomsky expressed exactly how I feel about them. He is my new mentor on this subject. I was always into music and art since I can remember. It is absolutely ludicrous how we put these mongrel/violent/asshole/criminal thugs on such a pedestal because they are superior physically, and then PAY them exorbitant amounts of money! GODDAMN IT it pisses me off! They are enhanced by HGH and other drugs anyway. I am sickened beyond words at the disgusting display of horror that is pro sports.    
I love music and literature and sports. Chomsky could say the same things about instrumental music that he does about sports. It's a distraction from more serious things. I don't want to think about geopolitics 24/7, however.

Have gotten to the point in life where I cheer for KC, but am not upset with their losses, playoff or otherwise. Fantasy football has helped me evolve to that mentality, due to starting guys that are playing them, etc... I have realized that my involvement has no impact whatsoever on their performance, short of bomb threats or something crazy that I would never resort to hehe.
It's more of a if they win that's awesome, if they lose that's cool too whatevs mentality.
Btw if I was this dude I would only be thinking about banging that chick next to him at all times. How my sports team did would have literally no effect on my life.

So are the athletes to blame for taking advAntage of the contracts that they sign?
Would you not sign those same contracts?
Sports is big business, that's why they get the cut that they "deserve" while entertaining those that pay to support that revenue

it's like the "players" are pitbulls/gladiators and it's a bloodsport to satisfy that lust. Also the gambling and money involved are just beyond any sense. Why not cap off the pay to say 5 mill? It's a disgusting cesspool of meaningless violence and nonsense. I despise it with every fiber of my being. How many players are MENSA members? How many do good things/philanthropy? How many go back to the neighborhoods they came from (if from an impoverished area) and try to build that up? If there are ANY that do these things it is not reported, nor do I care because it is minuscule compared to the fucktards that rule the "game". X infinity!

Are you on the roster? No? Then shut the fuck up. You did nothing to help. I get franchises like the word we, but I when you brag about how we converted on more 3rd downs to win the game it's a bit stupid.
Sure buying team swag and tickets technically makes you part of the organization since your money directly funds new players, but that doesn't give you the right.
It's kind of like the new nfl clothing commercials. They have some nfl star talking about all the hard work they did to earn a jersey, then some grandma says she just bought the same one on nfl shop.
Fuck I dunno man.
One of my favorite things about being an MMA fan, is that no one says "we". There's no, "we lost last night!"
Unless you're actually a coach and trainer or train in the gym with the particular fighter.Quote:

Tons of athletes give back to their communities. But unless your following the sport, you probably wouldn't be in a place to receive the news about it.
Chomsky is over rated.

So the news (which is pretty fucked to go by I admit) only reports all the bad things the players do? They NEVER report ANY good things? I would be willing to bet (and I'm not a gambling man) the the MAJORITY of EVERY SINGLE NFL player active right this second are bad fucking news. They would outweigh all the good ones by double! Betcha a dollar!

It's just like anything else. Some really great dudes, some really major shitheads. You got to do a lot of good stuff to win the Walter Payton Award.

Lol don't let it piss you off, brotha. As the kids say these days...it is what it is.
Anyways just curious -- but how do you feel about actors & actresses? A level actors and actresses can pull in 25 to 50 million for a single film, and all they're doing is acting like someone else. We (society) put them on just as big of a pedestal.

But one could say the same for professional athletes, even though some may not appreciate what they do or the game they play. But still, just as some actors/actresses are among the most talented in the world at what they do -- the same goes for professional athletes
