Just like life, every game has its absurdities. To focus on haircuts or attempts to draw a foul call is just petty. Like WR's in NFL don't scream and cry for a pass interference on every play (and I love American football too).
Wilbon was finally making sense when he said... Michael Wilbon: Every sport has something dumb, including whatever you like. Baseball? Scratching and spitting and grown men kicking dirt on an umpire? So, you can choose to focus on something that happens a couple of times per game, or you can be an adult who would have to be blind not to see the athleticism and artistry of the game. Alternatively, change the channel. I don't like soap operas, so I don't watch them. You're starting to sound like you got clocked in the knee. --- In [email protected], "Ray Bradley" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > --- In [email protected], "areofilm" <areofilm@> > wrote: > > > > My favorite sport is football (the American version) but people have > > to appreciate the skill it takes to get a ball into a goal while > > running around for 90 minutes+.
