The Sports

Well tonight I come to you while I'm watching my favorite professional baseball players team. I had an annoying day again, the now to common, waiting for work then watch someone try to do a job that a monkey can do with his eyes closed. Then when the work day was about to end the dog and pony show started. Don't you just love them???

Enough of that junk. Let's start this off right, with my thoughts on pro sports. Yes, there has been some controversy in the last few years. Does that make professional sports wrong? Is it wrong for someone to pursue a dream at all cost? There are athletes out there that do not have the natural ability to follow their personal dreams, I am one of them. I would kill to have the opportunity to play football again, and I will try it. I'm not willing to sacrifice my health for it, but I'm not going to shun someone that does. In fact I will applaud them for their desire.

On the other side of the spectrum, a person should always know their limits. There is a time when the equipment should be hung up and the career is over. Don't scared to become a memory in the minds of kids. Let them see you as bowing out gracefully, not as some greedy arrogant prick.

Now you maybe thinking that I'm only talking about baseball. That is not the case. Do you think that baseball has the only athletes that use drugs? How many pro football players have been arrested for drugs? What about basketball? I'd bet I could go to some courts in New York, LA, Atlanta, or any other major city and find quality players for most sports. These are just people that didn't have the opportunities that the pros have had.

Well I'll leave you for tonight. Take care all.
