smerchly 3,049 Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 I don't watch any sports now except fishing related ..... ( the power of boycott) I used to be a hockey fan ( go Bruins ! ) ,but over the years Big bucks turned sports into a brutal "game" where the players use brute force instead of skill . The wimmins play better hockey today ! Now , sports has turned political . When I seen them "taking the knee" and pissing on their own countries flag .....time to say goodbye . ....same goes for other "sports" . So I only watched the Olympic sports , until they found crooked judges ,,,,,, Soccer is a good game for the kids ....lots of good exercise ......but "adult" soccer is now win at any cost as well ....and become a multi millionaire .. .....sent to me via email ...... typical soccer "pro" (we use that word too freely) Mbocco, NiagaraRiverFisher, boogaloo and 1 other 1 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

мормышка 238 Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 Politics doesn't belong in sports, period. I follow hockey more for when Buffalo Sabres break losing streak. 17 last I heard. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

smerchly 3,049 Posted March 30 Author Report Share Posted March 30 The "sportmanship" has left the arena . It's "win at all costs" because they are paid multi million dollar salaries now . These guys are paid more than the best brain surgeon , scientist or lawyer ...A trained seal can toss a ball through a hoop .... It's the violence and fake injuries , etc that has spoiled many sports ....and it reflects into our kids today . Back in the 50's two grade 8 boys had a 10 minute fist fight in the schoolyard .A teacher came out and told them to shake hands ,and they did .....then complimented each other for a good fight and became friends , with much respect for each other . Now we have the kick boxing where one can beat the opponent's face into pulp "after" he was kicked in the face and knocked down ....and the kids copy this type of "fighting" . No more one on one ......6 on one is more common .... Being an "elderly" I have seen the escalating violence in the world. Maybe they put something in those vaccines to calm us down a tad ......? Well , they gave us the weed to make us happy happy dave524 and boogaloo 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
