Ok, now I understand when people say that some people take sports WAY too seriously, it’s just a game, etc etc etc. I agree.
But on the other hand, I think it’s equally as absurd to either:
1) HATE sports, as if they are a tool of evil (they’re JUST GAMES, right? How can you HATE games?????)
or…
2) Believe that every male that likes sports is by definition a moron. That’s just dumb. I mean, if you think all football players are just big dumb fat guys, try memorizing an NFL playbook. You don’t even have to move a muscle, just read one, and be able to recite exactly what you would do on every play based on what every other player does. Purely intellectual.
Apparently advertising people subscribe to this notion as well, based on the following ad:
Coors Light Commercial. Everyone in the bar is always smiling.
Cut away, cut back: SMILE…
another cut, SMILE…
another…SMILE.
It’s like, with Coors Light they smile about EVERYTHING?
“Hey, good to see you!” SMILE
“You look really great!” SMILE
“Oh sh1t, I gotta go take a piss!” SMILE
“FCK! I just spilled my beer!” SMILE
“OMG I don’t believe she shot me down!!!” SMILE
“I drank WAY too much, man, I feel like I’m gonna vomit all over you!” SMILE
