Don't get me started. Uh Oh, I think I'm starting: Being a sports star in this country is akin to being royalty. You are often above the law - especially if you are non-white. Having recently gone back to school as a 35-something to get my degree, it was very telling to sit in the classrooms and walk the halls with the jocks. They really do live that same attitude that you see in the pro sports stars. Their physical abilities place them in a higher class. And they carry themselves with that whole air of having somehow come from the hard streets of the inner city or something. It's that playa - bling-bling attitude to put it politely. Hilarious seeing this at a private college in rural Minnesota. One of the main reasons I have trouble getting behind any sports team is that there is no loyalty. I mean, if you, for example, are with the Phoenix Suns, I think you ought to make Phoenix your primary residence - preferably have been raised there - and love it, and you ought to try to stay on your home team your whole career because you believe in it.

Re: [MBZ] Fwd: Silverbacks Women in W-League Championship Televised Live on Fox Soccer Channel on Sunday
the terrible hypocricy of the mercenary college athletes. but in big time college athletics, it seems little else matters but winning and everyone just supports the shirt and doesn't get too concerned about the guy who is wearing it. at least when you watch harvard vs yale or army vs navy you can be reasonably confident that the players on the field have something to do with being student at the educational institutions they are representing. at georgia or georgia tech, you can be reasonably sure they aren't.

It is interesting to note if there is a backlash against big money sports, with the average fan being marginalised to a being a cash cow who has no real ownership of the sport. It's early days but there seems to be a growing number of football supporters abandoning the big league in favour of the local competition because the local competition is making an effort to be family friendly rather than being treated like cattle at the big game.
