Sports: Why Must I Watch?
Sporting events seem pretty numerous these days. Everyone talks about them and it would seem crazy not to watch. For me, I've never gotten into a sport to watch. I have no favorite team and just no interest what so ever. Let me pose this, these people get paid to do something you could probably do right now. You don't need to watch, thats what they want you to do. You see when you watch its like your paying them. Since its airing time for the channel and the various ads they put up in between. Whats even worst is that the athletes who play seem to encourage the prolongation of this habit.
How? you ask; by causing teenagers to get themselves into sports. Sports are not a bad thing if you go out and just have fun with others, its the competition that ruins it all. Pretty much everyday in my elementary school days I was subjected to about a half an hour of competition. When I played it was never for fun, always to win. So it left a bad taste in my mouth. It got even worse in junior high and high school. Anyways back to my peers, I see many people go for the two notable sports in any school, basketball and football. I see them having those torn out pages of basketball players making dunks or football team logos on thier folders, which "inspires" them to be just like them.
The reality is that you'll never do it. You may idolize these people and dream about living thier lives, but its not all glamour. In fact sports even causes people to get lazy. So the players will ask to copy your work and what not. The reason they ask this is because they think they're great, and they think you think the same way about them and so you'd do anything for them. They do it all the time. These people will probably never talk to you, and when they do it's just when they need something. I hate this and so I hate all the football and basketball players at my school.
Let me end with this, sports should only be allowed for fun, not for the profit of players. Secondly, we have enough garbage on TV anyways, so why fill the airwaves with a bunch of people playing a sport that you can do right now. Think about it.
