The topic is sports, dog, not party affiliation.
. . . Politics has nothing to do with how these once promising NFL stars mismanage their fortunes and squander their enormous wealth.
.There is no way to explain it to you. If you don't like sports, you don't like sports. If I spend time watching football, I want to see the best players. Athletic ability, at the highest levels, is a talent that draws big bucks, just like performers like Madona and Katy Perry. Don't like it? Don't watch. Don't buy products pushed by them.
I think we'd realize that it would be just as entertaining to watch fit twenty year olds that we all know from our neighborhoods play these games You must be under the influence, gay, or both. You're talking about H.S. football played by 20 Y.O.s. What happens when you play the neighborhood Earl Campbell lived in? Have 10 ambulances standing by? He would destroy a 200 lb. "fit twenty year old". Or would you not let him play? for millions of dollars less. It would probably be more fun, smaller crowds, less disparity, less security, less of a hassle getting to events, no TV blackouts. I am talking about baseball, football, golf, hockey, certainly basketball, all of them. They don't require millions to play a game, they don't deserve ten times the salary of our postman, our butcher, our provider.
So when I see this story of Vince Young, I think justice, and that it probably should be worse for him. So you like the sport of Schadenfreude
Or we could keep going on Madonna or Katy Perry, get them the fuck outta here! Originally Posted by JohnnyCap
