Why don't we just abolish sports?

pay them to f**k around, play ball and snort cocaine, rape an

How do I get in on this gravy train?

As a former high school and college athlete I can say that the vast majority of people didn't do drugs and rape the occasional women (in fact the numbers of athletes that did this was much smaller then the number of frat boys.). Most of us with professional dreams (my sport was purely armature so my aim was the Olympics) would never have jeopardized those for something so stupid. Where their rapists and drug users in sports (including professional) sure, but they would be rapists and drug abusers without sports, an asshat is an asshat regardless of their athletic ability.

Just out of curiosity bballad, which sport did you play in college? My uncle wrestled all throughout college, but blew out his knew. If i'm not mistaken he was some sort of state champ. I'll have to ask him again sometime.

Hey, I wrestled a little bit in school. Not much, but I could beat just about anyone there.

I played high school football, and I feneced in high school and college. Epee was my weapon. check out http://www.usfencing.org/ for more info.

Interesting.

Yeah, i never played any sports during school or anything, just during the summer. Baseball, soccer, etc... That was when i was sorta young though.

Weightlifting is my big thing right now.

Gawd, and I used to kinda like you Framework :( I'm afraid I can't do anything but mock and feel sorry for someone who supports the Titans :fart:


Okay, on to more serious things. Not buying tickets to your teams games is a really good way to get the ticket prices lowered. I live in Jacksonville and the Jags weren't selling tickets to any of their games for a couple of years, for combined reasons, losing seasons, plus the fact that you had to sell your child and a kidney to be able to afford the tickets. They lowered the prices considerably (I think it works out to $13/game for season tickets now) and the stands are packed. They took what their fans were telling them to heart, and lowered the prices. It worked out better for everyone involved.

What I can't understand though is why someone like Kobe Bryant, who could have a huge number of women in any city he was in, simply because he is Kobe Bryant, would rape someone. :confused:

I know why your upset debwalin, your a Jags fan! :p

Everyone knows the Titans own the Jaguars! It's common knowledge. Be ready, we're going to the superbowl this year, and we won't screw it up this time. I must admit though, the Jaguars have a strong team. Not sure if it was last year or the year before, but they had a hell of a defense over there.

If your not a Jags fan, then just disreguard what i have posted here. :-p

What I think happened with the kobe bryant thing was that this woman consented to everything that happened that day/night. But after it was all over, she realized that if she said she was raped by him, that she would be able to receive a lot of money.

Thats what I think.

Now Framework, everyone knows that the Bears is the team thats gonna make it to the superbowl. Since I'm originally from Chicagao I have to support my team :)

Yes due to the fact taht teh NFL seaseon hasn't started (so the bears havent been eliminated form playoff contentions yet.) and we are now in the final year before the end (cubs and sox both in contention late in the year). I am living in a wonderful dreamworld of cross town world series and bears superbolw victories :)


As for Kobes alleged rape, some times you want what you can't have...and he may have been so full of himself that he didn't relise that she didn't want him. On the other hand she may be lieing about the rape..this is why a lot of athleates video tape all of their encounters. A number of rape cases where dismissed after video evadence showed that the sex was consenual
