Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!
Not interested in sports? Then what do you do? I can't imagine Tuesdays/Wednesday without a Champions League, or weekends without Bundesliga, or all year European/World cup qualifiers.
But i kinda hear you, you Americans copy-pasted our sport's name, took it and re-named the original one as 'soccer', yuk, damn you!!! Heheh :d
And a question just out of curiosity, cause i know nothing about 'football', the superbowl is something like a league's finals? Or what?
Yeah the Superbowl is the final game of the NFL season.
To be clear I get the whole caught up in the moment thing about sports. I have played sports, watched sports and been to sports games.
However, I know that the hype machines of sports is purely about distraction, no different than what the Roman emperors did with sport. Why do you think politicians are so interested in maintaining sports?
The amount of money and air time given over to sports is simply crazy. I find it sad when I overhear conversations about sport and how people are so engaged in justifying the costs and worthiness of players and teams.
Councils rather spend more on sports teams than in infrastructure, housing and other community benefits. To me that's backwards.
I won't go into what happens in the US high schools and colleges as I find it sickening.
So yeah I don't see much benefit in sport on the whole. I would appreciate it more if it was a community builder but it isn't.
Ignorance, there is a cure.
