Sport

I was going to start with something like Religion, but I thought "nah, what the hell. I'll go straight out with the big guns, the really controversial stuff, something people really care about: Sports."

What can I say about sports? Well, not much, but there was just one thing that irritated me and I wanted to say it, alright? That okay?

Okay, what is the deal with AFL. Will people just watch anything involving teams? I think that probably is the case, but come on. I'm am Australian and it's embarrassing to know that this 'sport' is seen as Australia's contribution to the world's sporting codes. It would be okay if it was supposed to be a joke and it was showing our aussie laid-back, sardonic crack at the professional athlete circle, but it isn't! Maybe it started like that and maybe that's how it's perseved as overseas, but that isn't case! Oh god!

What do I have against the game you ask? Well, please, if you have to ask then you probably won't be able to agree anyway but i'll give it a shot. First, there's no 'code' exactly is there? I mean, for a game to become an actual sport doesn't there have to be some sort of set of objectives with rules to define how each team achieves those objectives? Oh alright, so it does have those, but just barely. How can it be classified as a sport, it's a bunch of grown guys booting a footy in the air, exactly the sort of pointless activity that all young boys participated in, and we just called it 'bombs'. That was it, it didn't even need a name, it was just "hey, you wanna kick the ball around?" then you went off and booted it as high as you could and then tried to catch it, simple. That's AFL. They just added two goal posts and a referee, who does god knows what, then they just go round fumbling the ball and groping at each other, it's hideously embarrassing. It has none of the finesse or co-ordination that real football has, and they have to use their feet.

Some may argue that that it's fun and the guys have to be really fit. Yeah, I won't argue with that but that doesn't mean it isn't still a wanky sport. They give you consolation points if you miss a goal for christs sake! What the hell is that.

A dirty plan. (new title)

I have changed the title of this blog from "What were you thinking! : An attempt to change our trajectory through chronic nagging." to the current one basically for the sole purpose of attracting more attention through controversy.


I know, it's low. Don't worry, I do feel dirty. But stuff you. You're not the one putting your ass on the line out there. You're not the one who has to keep returning to this pitiful drudge puddle and disappointed to find that no one has even bothered to turn their head and spit in it (It's really hurtful).


So from now on I'm going to be exploiting peoples lust for the controversial. Nothing will be too low-brow and nobody will be above a good roasting. Anything goes; sex, sports codes, religions, politics, car manufacters; some of the important things that people devote their lives to. Are you happy? You freaks!


Nah just kidding, you're all right.

So, stay tuned for the possibility of something freaky-deaky...
