 I'm about to fire people for playing that idiotic fantasy football on my time.  some of these guys take it to fists in the shop.  I have always disliked sportsfans and spectators.

I like sports.  hunting, fishing, scuba.  anything with a ball and seats for people to watch is more a spectacle than a sport.

the fact that a ball player can make more money in a year (while providing no useful service) than a fireman, cop, or soldier can make in a lifetime should be a huge red flag that our society is in deep trouble.

BTW- (while I'm on this particular rant) actors make too damn much money as well, we where better off a couple hundred years ago when they held a social status somewhere between potatos and gypsies.

to add fuel to your rant it was also better when it called for the character to die in a play the thespian was sometimes called to make the supreme sacrifice for their art.
