Sports Americans Hate
I read an article, on the sports american's hate. Sad thing is, it covers almost every sport americans watch too. So now, I must do the inevitable--give my opinion on every sport on their list.
- Dog Fighting - anyone who cares about humane treatment of animals hates this one. But, when did it become a sport?
- Professional Wrestling - I like wrestling. One prob, its not a sport. Vince McMahon calls it "sports entertainment" for a reason. It's scripted. I wouldn't say fake, because people can and do get hurt and occasionally killed. Top two aren't sports in my book.
- Bullfighting - Heh. Yeah. Sweaty guys in speedos is worse than fighting and killing a bull. This one does qualify as a sport to me, since there is ONE person involved in it. Half sport. Still inhumane. I would be cheering for a good mauling by the bull.
- Professional Boxing - This one is slightly more real than pro wrestling at this point. Don King owns everyone. Grown men beat each other for a certain number of rounds, till one flops. After a career, most are turned from intelligent men with a talent, to worn out veggies.
- PGA Tour - Hit ball. Chase after it. Hit it again. Golf is a hobby, not a sport.
- PGA Seniors Tour - Old people doing the aforementioned activity. Sounds worse to me. We need an NFL seniors league.
- LPGA Tour - Hit ball. Chase after it. Hit again. Only a woman doing it. Same as 5 and 6: boring.
- NASCAR - Slowest of all the major cars that race on a track. Overregulated to keep things just way too level. Guys drive slow in an oval no less. A road course would confuse people, and kill the idea of a grandstand. Worst example of racing out there.
- Men's League Soccer - I don't get soccer. I know the rules, but any sport where if you get a 2-0 lead means you play keep away for 2 hours and are guaranteed a win, is bullshit and boring. I'd rather watch reruns of "Small Wonder."
- ATP Men's Tennis - Hit ball one way, hit back. Back, forth, back, forth. That is only exciting if its pornagraphic.
- NBA - Overpaid and whiney players. Teams are more worried about showboating than actually playing the game technically well. That is why we got our asses handed to us in the Olympics.
- Major League Baseball - I do like baseball, but it can be... slow. I understand the hate some have of it. Add in that half the stars are coming out as having taken steroids, its not exactly the wholesome sport people really want.
