Why dont you like football?!?!?

I understand why you might be frustrated Rocketpig. I do have a tendency to generalize in order to see similarities and potential connections with things. You have to admit that American football, while it can be enjoyed by many people for different reasons, does attract some pretty mindless fans. I'm not saying anybody cannot enjoy relaxing while watching a game of some sport, but in general, sports fans are a great representation for the masses and the masses generally aren't too interested in doing anything outside their general mold.

I must say that if Wal-mart wasn't such a necessity at times, I would probably look at it with similar distaste. Of course, I'm not trying to be 100% accurate in these posts, these are mainly my feelings and what I conjecture might be why I might feel the way I do. It's not necessarily that the sport is popular, but rather what constitutes it being popular, the result of it being popular, and its method of becoming popular that irks me. That and most schools overfund their sports program due to its superficial benefits while taking funds away from other more educationally key departments. Why does the sports program even have such weighty advantages with the population?  What did it do to "earn" that right?

Another thing I find funny is that when somebody likes a pro athlete, they might try to be like them. But when someone likes an actor, most people wouldn't dare try to become a good actor. It might put their masculinity and popularity into question or something. A lot of these feelings and trends are passed down through parents and reinforced by peers though, I know.

Again, not trying to be entirely logical yet, as my feelings are getting in the way on this issue at this time.
