Athletes getting paid stupid amounts of money for entertaining us with a specific skill set is another big turn off for team sports(don't get me started on

Corporations run the world, from the military industrial complex down to amateur sports, it's aboot pushing brands and products to the over eager instant gratification geared consumer, every year the cost of living goes up but do our wages follow suit and keep pace?
HELLS NO!
Our standard of living in North America has been sliding for the past few decades,(as it has world wide) the rich get richer and the poor, well you know the rest, the haves and have nots...sorry for the rant but if people can't handle it, then go back to sleep and get excited for the next season of American Idol....
peace, pass it on
