OK......... let's back the question up a little.
Why are professional sports results "news"? If we think of them as busnesses, (entertainment to be precise) then every local and national news channel in the country is giving them free advitising - each and every day. -W "John Gaquin" wrote in message ... "jchaplain" wrote in message That was a rhetorical question, I don't think so, but if it were the case then I'd have to say I'm living in the land of the brain-dead. Maybe some morning we'll all wake up and be as sophisticated as you and Harry. If there's a God....... |

An outrage, unless the team is owned by a municipality. -- Email sent to is never read. |

Getting stupid, drunk, and going ape**** becasue other people are playing with balls is something I just don't understand. I guess thats the type of thing you enjoy doing, I just don't see the sport in it if you're not even playing the game, just watching other people you don't even know play.. ....geeze the more I think about it the more stupid profesional sports sounds. John C. And you preach tolerance? |

Football is among the worst, although I used to think it more interesting than, say, NASCAR oval track racing. Sorry. Same here, I live about 10 minutes outside Boston and I didn't watch it, don't give a ****, and I really wish they didn't win. It just means more idiotic behavior from the sportsfan mentality out there. A 21 year older killed when run over by an SUV and people vandalizing cars...great fun. Morons getting all riled up because someone played with footballs..big freaking whoop. Who cares. John C. There are people who feel the same way about your sports. Well, good for them.

What the f#$k? am I the only one who sees the stupidity of this whole waste of time and resource activity? John C. Yes, outlaw sports. Take another couple of Billion dollars out of the economy. That will help the children! It's for the children! |

If the money spent on professional football were instead turned over to the public libraries in those pro team cities, the children in those areas would surely benefit. -- Email sent to is never read. |
