Football... aka overpaid babies

I am across the pond now and loving it! As some of you know, I loved the world cup, however I cannot say the same for Football and in fact competitive male sports in general. First, I went to a football match a couple of weeks ago, and was shocked to see 20-30 police presence. Why? you might ask, would a whole police force be presence at a football match instead of solving murders, and protecting grandmas from house break-ins. Because football fans get violent, and if their team loses, and let's face it, one team is bound too, they have to take it out on someone. It's ridculous. In fact, as the team I was supporting was starting to lose, the fans behind me started to back-seat coach the team... to the point where I almost said "how about you get off your fat ass and get in the game, or redirect this enormous energy and help the people in Pakistan". And now on to the the players themselves. Now, some of them might have redeemable qualities. However, in the past week a number of football stars have been linked to prostitutes and an illegal underage prostitute ring in France (think Taken... yeah, these are some people's heroes). These men have families, and surprising feel no shame in admitting that they had to pay for someone to 'spend time' with them. Apparently it's a 'power thing' aka 'I am a waste of space, who not only is not bettering society, but is also putting others at risk, such as my spouse with any STDs that I might pick up, from my wholesome extracurricular activities'. And what puts the topping on the cake, is that one publicist said that spouses know what they signed up for! I think not. No one, no matter how much money (right I am not mentioning good looks, because anyone who behaves like this is not attractive)is worth losing one's self respect and overall health. And in short, all these players are from England, and I am thrilled that they played liked the losers that they are, and I refuse to support football from here on out. I will instead turn my thoughts onto Charles Taylor's trial... more to come later. cheers!
