NFL, NBA

AMERICA, YA KNOW WHAT? WE ARE IN GREAT POSITION RIGHT NOW. WHAT WITH THE OVERPAID, UNDEREDUCATED, NEARLY ILLITERATE, DOPE USING, GUN TOTTING, SPERM DISTRIBUTING, PROFESSIONAL COLLEGE DROPOUTS OF THE NBA AND THE NBA'S ARROGANT, EGOTISTICAL, ERRATIC MANAGEMENT GROUPS FACING A LOCKOUT , THE FUTURE COULD BE LOOKING UP FOR AMERICA.
THIS EVENT COMBINED WITH THE ON GOING LEGAL AND FINANCIAL PROBLEMS OF THE WAY OVERPAID NFL PLAYERS AND THEIR UNIONS AND THE TEAMS OWNERSHIP COULD POINT US TOWARDS BOOKS, MORE FAMILY TALKING TIME, MORE FISHING, CAMPING AND HUNTING TOGETHER, MORE TRIPS TO THE MUSEUMS AS FAMILIES.
BUT THEN I STOP TO PONDER A BIT AND REALIZE THAT IT WOULD PROBABLY INCREASE THE VIEWER SHIP OF "JERSEY ROTTING SHORE, "THE REAL HOUSE WIVES OF APPALACHIA", "THE PERILS OF CRAWDAD FISHING WITH THE SWAMP MUTANT CLAN".
WHEN THESE SO CALLED ATHLETES WHO ARE BEING PAID MULTI-MILLIONS EVERY YEAR TO PLAY, THEN COMPLAIN THAT THEY DESERVE IT AS ONE NEVER KNOWS WHEN THEIR CAREERS MAY END OR THAT THEIR CAREERS ARE SHORT SO THEY MUST HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO KEEP THE GRASS FLOWING FOR YEARS, I GO A BIT CATATONIC.
THEN WE LOOK AT AMERICA'S TRULY FINEST AND REAL ALL-STARS, THE MEN AND WOMEN OF THE ARMED FORCES. THESE MEN AND WOMEN ARE PAID PENNIES AND EVERY SINGLE DAY THEY KNOW THAT THIS COULD BE THEIR LAST. THEY FACE DEATH AND DISMEMBERMENT EVERY DAY FOR A BARELY LIVING WAGE, THEY LIVE IN SUBSTANDARD CONDITIONS, BAD WATER, BAD FOOD, SEPARATED FROM THEIR FAMILIES AND LOVED ONES.
WHILE THE WHINY PROFESSIONAL ATHLETES HAVE THE CHAUFFEUR AND POSSE FOLLOW THEM FROM STRIP JOINT TO BAR TO 5 STAR RESTAURANT THEN TO THEIR 10 BEDROOM, 20,000SQUARE FOOT AIR CONDITIONED PLAY HOUSES.
HEY, I WATCH PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALL AND BASKETBALL BUT I CERTAINLY COULD GET ALONG WITHOUT IT. COLLEGE SPORTS ARE JUST FINE WITH ME AND MET MY NEED FOR A FIX.
THE TRUE "ALL AMERICANS" ARE THOSE PEOPLE OF THE COAST GUARD, ARMY, AIR FORCE, MARINES AND NAVY.
