[The Darkest Canuck]

It's sports for crying out loud. It's so insignificant that it's not even funny.

In the context of war, poverty, human rights violations, and the Paul McCartney divorce, yeah, it's insignificant. But in the context of the amount of time I spend watching/listening/reading about sports, it actually plays a pretty significant role in my life. That's cool that you don't care if your team doesn't do well, but I do care. Lord knows I shouldn't when it comes to the Leafs, since all they do is disappoint me year in and year out. :lol:

Why all the squabbling? Well, it is a forum, is it not? Are we not free to discuss our difference in opinions here?

ahh, finally something i can agree with you on...

it's true...i spend so much time reading/watching/listening to and about sports...even though the playoffs just ended...i still check yankees.com every day...to see if they've signed anyone...see if they're answering the mailbag...ANYTHING lol!

sports is #2 after music for me...i come from a sports family though...my uncle played in the NHL and AHL, and my grandfather played for one of the Brooklyn Dodgers' farm teams...he used to use most of his holidays in October every year, so he could watch the World Series (it was on in the afternoon mostly back then)...it's in my blood...

sure sports can seem to be a divisive force, but really, they bring people together...even if they're cheering for different teams and taunting each other...it still gathers them into the same stadiums, bars, message board threads ect...
