What the fuck is up with sports?

All right, sorry for the delay. I'm sitting here waiting for my class to start, and I figured, I have a half hour to burn (I should be reading but, meh). I hope my title grabbed you. I meant it too! Dude, fuck sports. What am I some sport-hating stuck up son of a bitch? I don't know. I just think our society places far too much importance on sports and athletics, and I suppose actors and movie stars etc.

Please, don't get me wrong, I enjoy an occasional sporting match on the television, or go out and watch a movie in the cinema theatre. And really, I don't even mind if you really like sports and say, watch all the games you can see on TV (why was I all in like 1920s mode earlier? wtf?), or even buy season tickets to your favorite team. By the way, when you write "wtf" do you need the question mark or is it implied? Sometimes, I'm saying wtf and I don't even mean it as a question. Like "You ate all my cheese?! Wtf?" Anyways, my real beef with sports these days is all the fucking attention it gets outside of the actual game. It just bugs me. I like watching baseball for example, but tell me why anyone needs to watch fucking 2 hours of commentary and recaps after the game you just watched!? Fuck that. Sports are not that important.

Also, I guess I just don't understand why someone from Michigan would root for Arizona when Arizona is playing New Mexico. That's a bullshit example, I know but the point is, sports teams have locations associated with them to bolster local pride (or national in the case of the Olympics). High schools have sports teams so people from Eaton Rapids have a reason to like Eaton Rapids and hate Charlotte. Will brought up a fair point, that sure, you've got relatives somewhere so you can root for that team. That's fine, but I refuse to believe that half of this fucking country has relatives in New York, and the other half has relatives in New England (That's not even a place! wtf?).

What really gets me is the fact that some people want the Supreme Court to get in and regulate for drugs. Fuck that! Like those dudes aren't busy. They've got better shit to do than keep an eye on some bulked up meat-heads (I'm jealous) sticking needles full of growth-goo in their asses. They want the legislature to pass laws for sports! Why not use the time to pass a marijuana law that benefits some people eh? Besides just wasting time, I really hate the idea of using our government to regulate our sports. This brings me to my final point.

Sports are around for ENTERTAINMENT! That's it. Those sweaty ass-holes run around pushing each other so I can sit on my couch, or in the stands and cheer. I don't think they should get paid nearly as much as they do, nor get nearly as much attention as they do. In the Roman times, entertainers were the lowest of the low. All their job was to do was to make me happy. Think about it. An athlete doesn't provide a product. An athlete doesn't teach me something, I don't get smarter. I could even argue (I'm not going to) that athletes don't even provide a service.
