First, I guess it should be said that I'm not much of a sports fan and definitely not a fan of American football. I mean, really, it's a bit of a joke. Anyway, the fact that these overweight, uneducated goons go out on a field, put on pads and bang around on each other for an hour—which actually takes a lot longer than that for some nonsensical reason—is proof enough that they aren't so smart. However, what really worries me more—although I guess I shouldn't be shocked—is that politicians in this warped country want to spend time, money and effort on something that should be left to sports news and Internet forums for morons with nothing better to do. Is this really happening? Yes, it is.
This whole Congress hearing sham brings me back to the steroid hearings baseball had back whenever the hell that was. Now, I used to actually like baseball. Actually, I used to really, really like baseball. I used to be somewhat of a sports fan when I was a kid. Now however, I just don't care. These goons are nothing but whiny, chemically juiced, overpaid, uneducated scumbags who in the real world probably couldn't keep a job scrubbing pans at your local greasy spoon or rounding up carts at Wal-Mart. Truth be told, a good portion of them would probably be in jail, hooked on drugs and mixed in with the rest of the riffraff where they belong.
Anyway, I guess that what I'm getting at is that, once again, this shameful and embarrassing country is wasting what little resources it has left on something so trivial, unimportant and banal as some beefed up goons who want to hurt each other for money that it's lost sight of important matters—again. These days, I couldn't be any more ashamed.
