I heartily approve of your affliction and pray that it might infect the masses of lazy dolts who lounge around drinking bad beer and idling their time on that shallowest of human activities -- vicarious competition. It is made all the worse today by the high percentage of thugs and misanthropes that "professional" athletics seems to attract. Thoroughbred owners treat their horses with far more respect and loyalty than do professional team owners; indeed, pig farmers treat their stock with more decency than those team owners treat their players. And the worst aspect of all is that it has robbed so many Blacks of the potential to pursue far more honorable and socially responsible careers through the false lure of the sports mills -- exactly opposite of the myths that the establishment has put in place.
