| America’s favorite past time |

So what do we do short of giving up on a sport we love so dearly? Replace it. I watched some of the most exciting baseball last week and not one of the players is old enough to legally sleep with. That’s right folks, I’m talking Little League! The kids love the sport, are fun to watch and you don’t have to worry about them crying about needing more $$. Oh, don’t worry, you’ll still see crying. Crying ‘cause they lost, crying ‘cause they got hurt, crying ‘cause they are embarrassed by acne and a changing voice. But they’ll play. And that’s what really matters. My 2nd suggestion would be to replace baseball with baseball video games. The graphics are so good that you won’t even realize that you’re not sitting in the stands. Okay, so you won’t have the hotdogs, beer, lemon smoothies, nachos, cotton candy, and fly balls all around you, but the trade off will be that you have control over what your team does. And god knows that if the fans had say, then I would never have had to write this article in the first place. - Special thanks to jshin |
So if you’re anything short of being dead, you know that America’s
favorite past time is facing a pending strike on Friday. Just less then
a year ago, our country suffered the worst attack on our soil since Pearl
Harbor and it caused us to value what’s important and look past all
trivial matters. It’s nice to know that things got back to normal
real quick and we’re back to bitching and moaning about money. Never
mind that these people are getting paid to do something that they love
and that most people would pay for the chance. Never mind that the average
salary is over 2 millions dollars. Never mind that the baseball owners
are fighting for even more $, on top of
the millions that they have and probably can’t even spend. Never
mind that I get paid a small pittance to work 50 hours a week in a small
cube, staring at a computer, listening to people chew their food loudly
and snap their gum just to go home on a crowded smelly train crammed up
against some big sweaty men and start it all over again the next day.
And now, one of the few escapes that the lowly worker has of going to
a ballgame may be stripped away as well.
