Not A Sports Fan
"Not A Sports FanOpen in new Window.

The Blogging Circle of Friends prompt for 1-20-17 is "Has a game ever changed your opinion on something serious? Has a game ever changed how you perceive another person?"

I would say that I don't believe a game has ever changed my opinion on something serious. I do know however that several games have changed my opinion of people. When I hear that some clown is making millions of dollars because he can accurately pass a football it changes my opinion of him and the people paying him. He's a liar and a cheat for taking it because anybody with a normal ego knows that nothing is worth that. The ones paying him are fools for the same reason.

I also dislike these people because while they are making millions for playing twelve or so games per year, there are men wearing a different uniform who also throw things and get paid a whole lot less. They however don't throw balls. They throw hand grenades. Their misses don't cause the team to lose the game. Their misses cause lives to be lost. Does it not seem more fair that they should receive the high pay since their "game" costs in human lives and these other fools only lose a ring?
