It’s like NASCAR. As a truck driver, I guess I’m suppose to love NASCAR. I don’t. I did for a very brief time, but quickly lost interest. I recently saw a NASCAR driver on the “Tonight Show” with Jay Leno. I don’t recall his name – he made little or no impression on me, in fact, I thought he came off as an arrogant young punk, which turned me off to NASCAR even more.
As far as other sports, let’s review them a second: I don’t like college or professional basketball; hockey is good only if seen in person and I don’t have the time or money to do that now; soccer is soccer and I never liked it or would ever play it; baseball is totally boring; professional wrestling is not really a sport but lots of truckers watch it but then they’re morons; caged fighting is kind of OK, but the participants all look like inmates with too many really bad tatoos; golf is not for me and is impossible to watch; the Olympics is good, but only if the female divers, female swimmers and female volley ball players are on – have I missed anything?
I’m a very busy guy. I have no time for sports. I don’t get the worshiping this driver or that driver or that team or this team. Nothing I own or wear has a “team” logo on it.
It’s all childish to me. The best part of the Superbowl is the way it “stimulates” the local economy. I live in Tampa Bay and so its fine for us – the money, not the game, or the players or the teams.
You go enjoy it all, but I have better things to do.
