Today I met someone with an astonishing outlook on life. I am still in shock over the beliefs of this man, so I am going to share it with my 6, possibly 7 now, followers :)
He is "not a fan of fanaticism" if that makes any sense??? He is opposed to TEAM sports, and the fact that people (FANS) attach themselves to "their" team with such intensity. I meant to ask him if he approved of individual sports, such as Golf, but couldn't get any words out at the time. He told me that he hates the way people "boast" after their team wins a game, and the way that people get so serious about sports that they are not even participating in. He does not agree with someone becoming a hardcore college sports fan just because they pay that school for an education. WTF!?! I bleed Texas Tech Football, so I began to get a little upset. By this point you have realized that yes, this is a MAN I am talking about. A man who doesn't like team sports??? It is ridiculous!
I just don't get it. You can feel strongly about hating snakes, or Asians, or going to the mall.... but how can someone (especially a man) feel so strongly against Fanaticism? Were you on the C Team in Jr. High? A band member? A waterboy? or do you genuinely feel that it is unhealthy for people to be Fans?
In an attempt to argue with a man I have just met, who also happens to be a higher-up at my NEW job which I haven't even started yet............ bad idea much?............. I proceed to explain to him that I was born and raised a Texas Tech Red Raider fan, which led me to go to school there. I do not have a F'in Double-T tattooed on the inside of my mouth just because I got a degree or three there..... I told him that I write about Texas Tech sports a lot, and he quickly realized just who he was messing with. With my GUNS UP, I told him that I just didn't understand his opinions and that I think it's pretty flabbergasting.
I don't hate, or judge, (unless you are a complete retard begging for haters), and like I always say, "Whatever floats your boat!" His wife must love NOT watching ESPN, and Sports Center on a 30 minute loop! But seriously....
