Sports fans are killing other sports fans and it's nothing new. It's been happening for hundreds of years. Maybe since the beginning of organized sports. But why? And for what? Instead of black on black violence, now we're dealing with wack on wack violence. Am I the only one that finds it stupid as fuck how angry people get over a business that doesn't even pay their salary? Not only that, these sports teams don't give a fuck about you. They just want your money. But when is the last time they asked for your input? Sports in general are a joke. It's disgusting how much money the owners {and players to an extent} rape us for on a daily basis. And this is coming from a guy who grew up playing sports and was better at them than the vast majority of the population.
My father played baseball for SDSU and was drafted by the Baltimore Orioles. My uncle played golf for SDSU then became a golf pro and taught for one of the most prestigious clubs in San Diego County. I was the starting 3rd Baseman on a Little League All Star team that one summer became the best team in San Diego County. Do I sound like Al Bundy yet? I'm just saying. I played college ball too until I blew out my throwing arm due to plenty of dumb decisions in my formative years. In other words, I grew up competing with the best. San Diego, and the West Coast in general, has the best baseball in the world. It's a fact. We're at an advantage due to our year around amazing weather, so of course we have the best baseball. You think Alaska can fuck with us? Shut up. Because of that fact I played and competed with Ricky Williams, Eric Chavez, Aaron Haarang, Chad Hutchinson, Mark Prior, and the list goes on and on.
I know about good athletes and sports and I could go on forever about the wonder years spent at Polk High but I'll spare you. The bottom line is this: There's no reason why any of these athletes should be paid more than someone that's saving lives on a daily basis. Or someone that's giving their all to repair the more than damaged world we live in. I know I'll get a lot of flack and negative comments on this {bring it on, playboy} because people live and die by the very teams that don't give a fuck about whether their fans live or die, but who cares. Some things need to be said. The only time I'll attend a game is if I get free tickets or if the wife guilts me into going with the kids. And even then it's hard to afford. They charge 9 bucks to drink a beer. 8 for a soft serve. 7 for a hot dog. Shit, one day they're gonna charge me to take a piss. But when is enough enough? As long as the fans keep drinking the Kool Aid they'll keep on selling it. And can you blame 'em? My thing is, the average American family should be able to afford to enjoy a damn baseball game here and there. I mean, fuck. They only play 162 of them motherfuckers, right? And I'm not asking for a box seat. Just a good outfield spot so I can chill with the kids and my wife.
But it's like they've been saying for years: The rich get richer while the rest get fucked. If you've had enough, stop giving them money. If not, keep suffering. Enjoy that shit. Enjoy the Kool Aid. Cherry's the best flavor.

And trust me, I've heard plenty arguments regarding my stance on this subject. People ask me why I watch so many movies and TV shows because that's supporting actors and directors and making them millions of dollars too. Well, for one, actors are generally better people that do more for this world. Again, generally. Not always. Secondly, I don't give actors much money at all. I know how to get things for cheap; let's just leave it at that. I did recently watch the Hunger Games in the theater with my wife though. We got a good deal through Groupon {pay me motherfuckers}. It was whatever.
