Nice way to put it bud. While our views differ in some points, I respect what you said here. I'm not a big sports fan either; in fact I don't watch sports at all, but do lift weights and excersize 5 days a week. What I hate is when you get ragged on for NOT watching sports, as if it makes you any less "patriotic" since you dislike an "All American Sport", feh. You're alright Akuma :D

 

Indeed, the manliness associated with watching sports is even more moronic. Many people who are really into sports were complete failures at sports in high school, and now they try to vicariously thrive on it through some team, as if someone even gives a shit about how shitty you were at sports in high school and how you are trying to make up for it now.

And I'll just flat out say it, people who are really into sports are generally much bigger douche bags and generally treat women worse. Most major sports have a "I'm tough shit" kind of attitude based on the sport itself and the pomp surrounding it. Not surprisingly, the fans love this and a lot of it bleeds off onto them. This is what I call the "eternal frat-boy mentality."

And acting like sports is patriotic is equally moronic. Look at the one President who was a football player, Gerald Ford. Not exactly on the top of most people's lists of best President ever. And most of the Founding Fathers? Probably would have gotten their asses kicked by a junior high school football team. NASCAR fans are the worst. If NASCAR fans are automatically patriotic, then apparently deep-frying chicken and having hot sex with your inbred cousin is patriotic.

Anyone who thinks watching sports somehow makes you more manly or more patriotic is a pathetic excuse for a human being. That's like saying drinking a lot of beer everyday makes you smarter.

 

 

Or only cool people choose to drink. I personally don't drink at all, and I can definatly see the benifits of drinking, but for me, the cons outweigh the pros so I don't drink, but there is still a stigma that people who don't drink are weird.

I also want to say that people who are really really into wrestling are almost always stupid.
