Poll question: Sports suck! Or do they? |
|
Football has taken our beloved Progmom from us this day. Its bad enough mainstreem sports events lower to collective IQ of its attendants (actual statistic). But now it is taking art such as that presented to us by Progmom from us.
Who here says sports suck?

1. As a non-athletic guy in a very athletic family... |
|
I've never been overly fond of sports. While my brothers ad cousins and everyone else were playing hockey, I'd be on my computer or drawing stuff. Little bit of a black sheep.

2. For those who need to get their competition nut on |
|
sports are a relatively safe outlet.
Me, I don't care about them. I'm only mildly aware of sports competitions.

Not just football, baseball, and NASCAR.

7. It depends on the sport concerned. |
|
I mean - football (either soccer, or that bizzare game played in America) obviously does.
On the other hand cricket, rugby and croquet (the latter being the only sport that I can actually play - mainly because I insist that every-body have either G&T or Pimms whilst playing) are epitome of wonderfulness.

19. Sports are okay. It's the couch-addicted illiterate racist misognynistic |
|
fucks ADDICTED TO WATCHING SPORTS and feeding the sports machine to satiate their devolved tribalistic sick need for group identification and homogeneity and geographic differentiation from "The Other" that suck.
Sports themselves, however, are healthy past times. FOr those who actually ENGAGE in them, as opposed to paint their fat fucking bellies blue and fill themselves with beer and fat-based meat products and racist jokes and homoerotic fantasies in SUPPORT of people who actually do something.
