I cannot figure out what the big deal is about profesional sports. What is it?

When you boil it down, all it is is a bunch of grown men playing with a ball.

A ball.

That’s it. The only pro sport that doesn’t use a ball is hockey, but the puck could be considered a ball that has been squished so let us continue.

I truely believe that the reason we have not been contacted by aliens is our insistence that professional sports are important.

They look at us with thier telescopes every so often and say, “Nope, they are still playing with balls, their society has not matured enough.”

So what is it about professional sports that fascinates people?

I realize that there is a level of athletisism beyond the norm in professional sports but isn’t that what the olympics are for?

Then there is the team spirit part of it, which I can understand, but can’t you be proud of you city or area without the artificial construct?  Do you really need a bunch of jocks (that probably did not even come from you city but were hired like mecinaries) to beat another bunch of jocks in a game with a ball to show spirit?

What’s the big deal? There are people out there who live for <insert game here>. Why?

What part of my brain does not work right (because obviously it is me that is broke, not the rest of the world) that I cannot see the tremendous value of professional sports?

I wish I could get into it, the fun they seem to have, the comradery they share. But no, I can’t. I just sit here like an alien looking through a telescope at them, shaking my head sadly.

And then there is Motorsports - don’t even get me started on that.
