WE HATE SPORTS

But that would be a silly thread to have! Threads devoted solely to hating things are silly! I thought we knew that?

My college football team is rated number five in the country. We won a bowl game in 07 and since then we have built or started work on a new technology and general studies building, a student union expansion, a new nursing building, a new science building, and a new business and econ building. I am reaping the benefits of a sports culture, even if I have little to do with it. I have never gone to see my schools team play in the four years I've been here.
KharBevNor:
And...you did those things because you won the bowl?
Did you win millions of dollars or something?
What?
BB I really don't get what you're blathering on about. For a start, music is a joyous and beautiful thing and sports aren't. Like, I personally cannot even begin to see how a dude catching a ball and a dude playing a song are in any way comparable, aesthetically. For a second, I don't think we have anything like the same definition of what constitutes a bad musician.
Dovey, why can't we have threads in which to hate something. We're hating an abstract thing after all? It's not like I made a thread saying "WE HATE DOVEY, JON, BB AND TOMMY" (though you wouldn't think it maybe at some points during this thread). If you don't like the fact that I or a couple of other people dislike or hate sports, you could have stayed out the thread, just like we have stayed out of your thread talking about sports. One could argue equally that a love-in thread is as boring as a hate thread. I would have liked a discussion with other like minded people about what we most disliked about sports, and maybe discussed tactics for permanently eradicating sports from our culture, possibly by putting everyone who likes sports in gas chambers. But no.

Pretty much. Merchandising, and selling rights, donations, sponsorships, ect. all as a result of the program. The uni coach is the highest paid state employee because of it. If you look at Florida they have the largest school in the country and the best football team. Screams correlation.
KharBevNor:
I am so glad we don't have anything like that in the UK.
