If you had a son like Brian.........

Could you be more latently homosexual? I will bet you love gladiator/sandals epics. "300", "Troy", anything with Steve Reeves,etc. Might even be a weightlifter, eh? How do you keep the "old boy" down when you are in the locker room, er..flex heaven? Stare in that mirror and tell me you do not see a Queen in hiding.

That too. Basically, sports don't matter. I posted this on another site:
Why do people act like the world is going to end if "their" team doesn't win? First of all, it's not your team. You're not out on the field, you're sitting on your couch or at a stadium. Second of all, who f_cking cares? I don't care if you watch sports, though I personally don't see the entertainment value. I just don't understand how people get so emotionally involved and bent out of shape over it. If "their" team doesn't win, it ruins their whole day. They hate people who support the opposing team. It's a GAME, get a GRIP.

A bit different than wanting your son to play sports to prove his masculinity, but related to how overvalued sports are in society. Whether playing or watching, it's a hobby and a choice whether you want to engage in it or not. It's not a measure of anything.

Another thing is that I hate when people have kids just to make them mini clones of themselves or live vicariously through them. They map out their whole lives for them, force their beliefs and interests on them and don't allow them to be themselves. A kid is not like a Sim that you can control, it's a life and an individual. I wish more people would realizing this before reproducing.

Obvious Oblivion said it best. Most sports are just a wait of time. Football for example. When i say this, people get pissed. "It takes a lot of training to be that good!" Uh yeah, and anyone could learn to be capable of running and catching a ball. Why do you think most of the idiots in the school were the star players?

Individual talents are MUCH more important and hard than group "Team work" than the other person said. If we were able to do "team work" through college, we'd have A LOT more graduation rates. But its up to the individual to do the work.

If its so hard to learn a sport, then please, go try to learn certain maths or biologies. Lets see which one you learn faster. Football (Run, catch, tackle) versus a bunch of formulas, than can change at certain times when ONE thing is different. Not easy. I hate math, I cant stand it. And it's tough. I know girls who could be in the NFL if they were able to. It isn't a big brainer

The only sports I really have that much respect for, are ice hockey, surfing, and skateboarding. Takes a lot more skill and practice than football, not to mention the dangers are much higher.
