The dick.
Finding joy in others mishaps.
Oh wait🤔
Whatever.
It reminds me of something ph used to say when teasing packer fan.
Our players are good bc they are packers.
Your players are bad bc they're not packers.
He shortened it.
"Packers good, Vikings bad".
Haters gotta hate.
Nothing ever changed on the internet.
Still, lost in my poking the bear. You're still missing the point.But you're close.
The AJ Hinch thing. I remember you having a moments pause on the hire. But, to root for your team. You FORGAVE Hinch.
These leagues are full of felons, cheaters and other characters most of us would not wish to be associated with. Not all, but enough.
If we are going to judge them? What's the standard?
My team good- your team felonious?
If I give Kirby Puckett a pass for being a wife beater.
Adrian Peterson a pass for poor parenting. How can I possibly get worked up over a cheating scandal?
If you can forgive Hinch. Why does Jim Harbaugh bending the rules even matter?
I still get worked up over the ridiculous lack of integrity in umpiring/ officiating. Yet, it's woven into the fabric of the games. Imo, that's the bigger scandal.
But the beat writers won't expose that story. They'll be blackballed. Instead, Harbaugh gets muck raked. In this moment. You took the cheese.
Accountability in America? Not a chance until we all ignore the noise. Ignore the cheese.
The story in football, going unreported. Is the manipulation of outcomes via penalties.
In baseball- the lack of kzone integrity with robo ump available.
Instead, we are spoonfed shadenfreud targets.
Most of us? Not only take the bait, we swallow the hook.
The distraction becomes the news, the real news/crime goes unreported.
As always, I believe sport mirrors society.
The leagues have zero accountability (Immediaie ejection for arguing balls & strikes. Mandatory NFL fine for criticizing officiating) except to higher profits..Occasionally a sacrificial lamb is tossed to the sharks. Shadenfreud Distraction.
You tell me. Does that mirror America in the 21st century?
If I'm a dick for calling that out. Well, paint me Richard.
