Okay, that being clear, who are these fucking douchebag, ass-clown fans who beat up old ladies and kids for stray balls??!! WTF is all that about? Are these stupid little balls worth anything monetary wise? Are these asshole fans normal?? Who would pay to be around these people? Why would you take a small child to a place where he could be flung out over a fence over some dirty little ball??
HERE Some cocksucker pushes and older woman who got the stray ball. He actually shoves her and takes it away! And people let him! No one stops this douche from practically assaulting a lady right in public with cameras rolling?? WTF?
HERE Some other cocksucker wouldn't give a stupid old ball to a cute little boy. Why? (Big man want ball! Big man want ball now! Big mans in comments think okay big man. Fuck boy kid. Stupid crying toddler thing go home!) Jesus. Finally someone tosses the child another ball and his little face lights up. I could just kiss him, so cute and sweet. Horrible fans, these big men.
Related GROSS fan based bitching stories...
HERE is the story of a grown man, bullying an 11 year old girl and her dad, by deliberately inducing himself to vomit on them!! On a little girl! OMFG. I have no words for this one.
HERE is the shaming of the intelligence of anyone who does not know the rules about what to do with these stupid, stray balls. I'd throw it back too. I mean, the big men are playing with the ball in..whatever game this is. Shut up. I know. It's baseball, right? Softball has those bigger balls, right? See?! I am almost an expert in these sports things. Do they even have soft ball stadiums? I have no clue. Who cares what some newbie fan does with his stray ball? He caught it. Maybe it thrilled him to throw it back? WTF? Shut up with these stupid sports nuts making fun of other people when they paint their heads green, wear foam fingers or cheese on their head or whatever. THAT is only a few of the things that keep people like me away from your goddamn sports people's hang outs. So, stop telling me how fucking awesome they are. God, I hate sports.
How the fuck do I always end up on Deadspin anyhow? I think I'll just block it. Yeah. Get it away from me. Ick. This all reminds me, did anyone else see that movie Silver Linings Playbook? I think that was the name of it. Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence?? Can't stand him, but, I like him in movies. Weird, but, anyhow, did you like it?
Yeah, I looked it up. Silver Linings Playbook.

I grew up in a totally non sports family. No -one did or watched any sports of any kind. I had a high school friend who was very into it, and it was totally weird. Every day she would be talking scores, etc. She got her business degree and went to work at Nike.
Anyway, no -one else I knew was into sports. I think it is pretty pathetic, the level of obsession with sports and with catching balls. Big men acting like toddlers. In this country, it's the culture around baseball that is the worst, I think. In other sports, there is no question of a spectator keeping a ball that goes awry. Baseball is boring, anyway.
Soccer was our sport when Andy was in school. Overseas they go crazy over soccer. Here, not so much.

I don't begrudge anyone their pastime, but, gesus, enough sports worship. The US is so full of it, sports bars, sports photos on MY fast food cups, sports channels, it's gross. But, what's unacceptable to me is, the money dedicated to it in our educational system. Art, theatre, dance etc. gets jack compared to sports. We can't give kids a fucking lunch, but, we can build a new school stadium. GOOOO Fuckers! Oh, and sports guys get through college not being able to read past a 2nd grade level. Go figure.
I hate sports too, yet here I am listening to the Royals (baseball) game as I type. Married to a sports nut...sigh. It never ends.
On another note, fuck that asshole couple for denying that little boy the ball. They totally knew what they were doing and they didn't care because they were too busy taking pics of that awful woman posing with that worthless ball. Makes me rage.
Oh in Sacramento it was all Kings basketball. Daily water cooler talk. "WE" were so good. The fans become the team. It really is WE. LA hasn't had a pro football team for 20 years, having become disgusted with the Rams and Raiders. LA was cool with baseball and basketball. Now all of a sudden 3 places are being built, one in my city, for the possibility of a team. No team actually said they'd come, or signed a contract, no approval given by the big bosses, but it's like my city, build it and they will come. Maybe. That will be so cool. The drunks and fights and riots were mostly in the downtown area where the sports actually took place, but now they want to bring them blocks from me. Glorious.
Well here Iam in L.A. - nuff said.
My Dad was sports obsessed. Especially football, basketball and boxing. We kids learned alot from him because the only real time we spent with him was sitting with him and watching sports. At half time or time outs - he would call out "Sports Quiz!" and proceed to ask why and how questions about the calls and rules of the games. My love is baseball and basketball.
All of us have an appreciation for the game and not just specific team loyalty.
I do agree that making idols out of players is ridiculous - the money pros make is absurd. Given the short life span of a major sports career - players reap it in when they can.
Border - no one I know wants the Raiders back in L.A. Too identified with idiot gangs.
If my Dad could understand these days - he would want the Rams.
In general, I am not a sports fan. I am a one team fan. I am a Saints fan and Patriots anti-fan. I have never been to a game, can't afford them and I'm not a big fan of such large crowds.
I recently read that the grade point average for players in some schools may be dropping to 1.5 from 2. Now that is really pathetic. I taught a boy who went on to play for the Giants. Some how he managed to finish college---some college I've never heard of. It may have even been online. Anything just to get him through some kind of college. He was dumb as a box of rocks. And I know he couldn't spell rocks. He didn't last long as a player, but for a couple of years, he was on the top. I bet he is probably broke right now.
Just watched the weather at 4:16. It is now 102 in my area with a heat index of 112. This is the hottest that I have ever been aware of. It may have gotten hotter when I was younger and I just didn't know it. Spent a lot of time in the water back then. Also we didn't have the heat index thing then. And I wasn't old then either. Heat and getting older---it's a bitch!
I am in a micro community where it doesn't get so hot.. It's say 10-20 degrees cooler than Glendale, Pasadena, etc. I used to turn down jobs in the Valley because I couldn't bear the heat, and those jobs were only 1 day a week for 12 weeks, evenings. I'm thinking of moving to Seal Beach, but it is a south facing beach, so am suspicious of the heat. My BFF lives in Palm Springs and I haven't been there is 2 years because I get unbearably sick.
Border...please move to Seal Beach just so I can live vicariously through you! I grew up in Huntington and regret leaving.
Boy, this turned into an interesting post! I learned things about ALL of you. Your past, present, childhoods, wow. Thanks!
I did not enjoy Silver Linings Playbook the first time I saw it. It was at the theatre and I had just gone thru some seriously sad relationship stuff, romance and family, plus OCD runs rampant in my life, my son has a double dose, my OCD sister took her life, my OCD parents attempted a yr later. OCD is crippling, combined with depression. is a killer.
but, I'm a sick fuck. I forced myself to watch it when it came to direct tv. I've watched it many times, fascinated with the amazing acting, script, story, all of it. it calmed me in a way, it gave me some clarity, I grew up in bat shit crazy. the movie stuff was small potatoes compared to my life with crazy.
SLP poignant but gets my funny bone. ha, I needed this.
