Wow, you guys sure seem to have a lot of fun. Idealist punks. Sports are much more than "derrrr get the ball". Do you know how smart you have to be to play football(certain positions more than others). These NFL qb's memorize what every person is doing on every play and they have hundreds of different plays with hundreds of different formations. It is very complicated stuff. Plus sports teach people things, especially kids what life is about. Hard work, dedication, loyalty, physical fitness, combates laziness, etc, etc. It gets shoved under the bus in the upper levels of competative athletics but it is still there.
