Reply #218: But on the other hand, I wonder if the sports things is a conspiracy of the intelligent and mature.

[Rabrrrrrr]

That is, that people who are actually intelligent and mature decided long ago "Hey, our schools should have sports teams - that way, the fucking ignorant and worthless will have something to focus all their energy on so that they'll grow up to be stupid and incompetent and forced to work the factories and do the shit jobs that we, the smart and capable people, don't want to do."

Could be. If we cut out the sports, then who's gonna fill all the shitty jobs that the failed, ignorant, miserable, uneducated jocks currently fill?

Maybe we should pump even more money into the sports programs!

But, no, we shouldn't, because the downside of the whole thing is that, while creating a hefty labor force for the elite to exploit, it also creates a huge demographic of imbeciles who think Palin is great, Rush Limbaugh is Christian, and Pat Robertson speaks for Jeebus.
