It's only a game, not a #$%@#! war:playful:
The results don't mean a thing

Tomorrow

Or to the other millions not interested.

The outcome achieves nothing - it's inconsequential It's uh it's, ? what's the word...? Ah yes I looked it up. The game result is effectively,
not important or significant it's just another of those inconsequential things. Like I might say,

insignificant, unimportant, of little/no consequence, neither here nor there, incidental, inessential, nonessential, immaterial, irrelevant; negligible, inappreciable, inconsiderable, slight, minor, trivial, trifling, petty, paltry, measly;piddling, piffling;

de minimis to historic event.





Now an individual sport like golf where say I get a hole in one, (had 4 btw), means something to me. I can recall the event forever. I remember the course, the day, the golf hole (# 3 2X # & # 7 1X & # 16 1 X) And the club I used. (available on request so as not to bore you.

But a team sport with the actors,soccer, the ectomorph, abnormal stilt like round ball participants, (all millionaires btw while golfing participation costs us money!)ends with scores that ring out a day later with "WHO CARES!"

By the time it's in the paper, "WHO CARES!"

At season end( and some seasons go on for seasons and seasons) 3/4 of those fanatic fans have teams in the tank, and just ignore the rest of the
series. Base ball..WOW! is that grass growing or astro turf.."WHO CARES!"

Set a record... "WHO CARES?" It matters not in the scheme of things..Unless you caught a fowl ball.
18 + players splitting a billion$$$ WHO CARES?

Team sport fanatics even kill each other over a kid's game! Adults-parents go berserk over their kids playing time when...WHO Cares?

I don't watch fights anymore, sometime a hockey game breaks out.

Isn't assault assault if you wear skates? (Rhetorical)

Isn't there an acting award for soccer?

WHO Cares! :rolleyes:

Agents..Moms & Pops.. Car dealers. Real estate agents and dentists dealing in gold or diamond teeth?
Groopies?
Tat artists?
Sports writers?

But in the RW...WHO CARES!
 

It's a form of self aggrandizement by fanatically associating your miserable self with a group of super talented attractive people. By wearing their jersey you magically take on their qualities.

Then there's another phenomenon namely the camaraderie that exists between members of a fan base.
 
go see a Raiders game sometime

I think golf is worse than any team sport. A waste of prime farm land.

OK yer entitled to an opinion, you just have the wrong one.:p
Besides,
If it was prime land it wouldn't have a course on it.

And It's the team,the followers/fans and the press-media I fault. They behave as if the game decision means something. It's less in effect on the real world than...uh...:rolleyes: a popcorn fart.

When the game is on (unless it's baseball which has no redeeming defense), the fans go nuts and when it's over it's akin to a vacuum, nada-zero-zilch- bupkis it settles nothing that matters and matters nothing that's settled.. WHO CARES?

Now go watch a 'yesterdays game' and tell me why and how it mattered that there was a winner, loser and a score worth the fandamonium.
 
"the camaraderie that exists between members of a fan base" Just so long as you don't sit on the wrong side and cheer for the wrong team, then ya might get a beer dumped on ya...but Golf is a gentleman's game...:eek:

Yeah,but to all of their credit,the "Battle of the Bay" went off without any brawls on Sunday. I was worried,since my kids and grands were going,but all was peaceful-they even hung out with fans of the opposing team and it was all good!
 
That's what I mean. The outcome is meaningless once the fat lady sings-the dust has cleared- the sun has set- the tide is out- the cheering and moaning are over.
Still, we're sooooo happy when the only violence ;) is between the team players.

Gotta be nuts to think a 'game' is of any importance.

Who cares!
