The "I" In "Team": Let's Go Get Stoned With Ricky Williams | 6 comments (6 topical, editorial, 0 hidden)
Wow, there is life after sports (none / 0) (#4)

First off, I like football well enough. As the Commander discovered recently, I know football. And I know baseball, and basketball. I know rodeo. But I don't follow it like I used to. Now, football is just a game, and a game that I don't even get to play. I don't follow who the players are anymore. I ignore sports most of the time, and only watch once in a while.

Once upon a time I was trying to explain to some girls about team sports. "It's a soap opera. Think of it as a big silly soap opera, just a bunch of characters with long story lines, that play this goofy game out each week against each other, to make big money. Its a soap opera for guys. When you look at it in this light, it will make sense to you." These girls took it to heart, and reported back that in those terms, it did finally make sense to them.

But of course my boyfriend at the time was totally freaked. "How dare you say that sports is a mere soap opera!" He didn't get it, the putz.

It sounds like this Ricky Williams guy gets it. Thanks Paul.


Now, how much will you pay? But wait, there's more...

Professional sports is, like your standard soap opera, expertly crafted and executed drama.

Those who doubt sports' similarities to soap opera need look no further than Kobe Bryant's last year and a half. Or Ty Willingham getting fired from Notre Dame. Or the Boston Red Sox's championship, far and away the greatest sports drama of the decade. And I haven't even had to mention O.J. once.

Macho men get all huffy when it's suggested their favorite form of entertainment bears similarities to chick entertainment. Men can be such drama queens. Sigh.
