Well, Obama supports science education in our schools. So, I'm willing to overlook his occasionally playing basketball with some kids for a little bit of fun. He doesn't punch kids in the stomach for dropping the ball, which is probably what Mitt Romney would do.
Also, you'll notice that I have been getting along a little bit better with sports lover since we both agree that Zimmerman is a coward.
I wouldn't have a problem with sports, if only sports fans would just except the fact that it is only a game, and not the most important thing in the world.
I love to play Chess. I really love Chess, but, as much as I love Chess, I know it's not the most important thing in the world. There's a lot of things that I like that I know are not the most important things in the world.
I know this, and I acknowledge this.
I don't go around beating people over the head if they don't happen to like Chess.
Oh! But sports fans! They beat people over the head who don't care for sports.
If only, sports fans would just except the fact that not everybody cares for sports, just like, I except the fact that not everybody likes Chess.
When I was a kid, I have played baseball a few times, but it was the adults, who should have know better, who took the fun out of playing a simple game.
I got punched in the stomach by a teacher with a basketball just simply because the ball slipped out of my hands. It was as if I had committed blasphemy!
So, again, I must say, it was sports that taught me how to hate sports.
Why is it, that sports has become so "important" that human lives have been destroyed because of it?
