The Super Bowl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Rags]

It's long been held that in order for a person to be complete, they need to sound in body and mind. Sports are a way for the body to keep up with the mind. Are a lot of sports players dumb? Sure.

I played football, basketball, baseball, and I also graduated the top of my class, am a national merit scholar, and got to pick pretty much where I wanted to go to school based on academic achievements. Sports were a big part of keeping me in line and in shape. I made a lot of good friends, and it kept me in shape physically. It also taught me dedication to follow through with goals and achieve the best I could.

There are statistics that show children who participate in sports through school are less likely to get into trouble, are less likely to kill themselves, get better grades, and earn more money as adults. There wouldn't be the interest in the sports if there were no professional teams for us.

There are other statistics that show that on your average pro-level team of 10 guys, 2 are felons.

That's sad. 20% of all citizens aren't felons.

The same stats show that you take 10 CEO's you have 4 felons, so go figure.

I love sports. I think some people are just pissed because athletes in pro sports make quite a bit of money. The only thing I do not like about American Football is the name Football, as the foot rarely comes in contact with the ball. I guess the same could be said of Rugby Football and Aussie Rules. Soccer is the true football as the foot is what is used to move the ball most of the time. Contrary to what many people think the head is hardly in contact with the ball. Anyway a man is entitled to his opinion no matter how moronic I think it is.

Opinions are like buttholes.
Everyone has one.
And they all stink.

Gurm,

Your percentages are off a bit.

A football team has 11 players, not 10

They're off way more than that.
A football team is allowed to have 40some players on their roster.
The players on the field are not the only players on the team

i had all the football i needed for the day. I woke up at 6:45am to listen to Leeds get there arses kicked 0-4. Ugh. I had no idea who was playin in the superbowl this year, and didnt care either. Then my bestfriend called and told me, and it was the Patriots! OMG. the team i have followed since 1997, the team i stood up for when everyone made fun of me for liking them.. hmmm.. the Bledsoe jersey that is hid in my closet.. wow. glad they won.. but i still didnt watch it. hehehe. i did watch U2.. and for some reason when Bono started sprinting around the stage this incrediable urge came across me and i was yelling "fall.. fall!!! " hahaha i have no idea why. i like U2.. i just thought there performance would have been even greater if he would have fallen.. just would have been fuc*ing funny oh well... maybe next year, then again i wont watch it then either.. im over american football. it bores the hell out of me now. burnt out on it i guess.

[Novdid]

Well I for one can't watch american football. I can't take it with all the interuptions, one guy throws the "ball" to another guy and 2 second after they're all in a big pile with the "ball" under all of them. I guess that goes for rugby too I guess. The other tactic is more or less take the "ball" and run for your life which I can enjoy watching actually, but that doesn't last more than 5 seconds either.

I agree with Rags in most of the points he made. I for one do feel better and more in harmony with myself when I am in shape.

The Superbowl is evil! Pure evil I tell you! FOX uses it as an excuse to hurt Futurama even more! It's sad how many episodes we've already lost because of the dreaded Superbowl.

Can we all understand that I don't feel that athletic endeavor is wrong, but that I _do_ feel that Pro Sports are wrong?

Wrong on a fundamental level that transcends the limits of space and time. Wrong in such a way that if we nuked the entire NFL the planet would be a happier place... until hockey season started.

... olympic games are just around the corner... ... ask bin something to nuke 'em for you...

[Gurm]

No, no. The olympics (with the exception of the recent changes in the rules of hockey and basketball) are actually about real athleticism. Except when they're about money. Ok, maybe not.
