SteveMn - 1/5/2010 07:49 men who dont watch football, are actually girls I suspect you have that wrong. I've never understood the attraction of men to other men. I've never been a sports fan - the clash of steroids and egos against steroids and egos - driven not by a competitive spirit, but the desire to destroy the opponent. I some times in the past have watched an event of the olympics or a clip of the best of sports at the end of the year but that is it for me. Some of us still actually work for a living and not just 8 to 5. I see the sports phenomenon in this country as being the result of from far too much money and leisure time and driven by low self esteem - if I can align with a "winner" then I will be a winner. And then their team loses . . . Edited to add: I guess that probably explains the attraction of some men to other men - the attempt to build their own esteem by identification with another. |
