Sports

My dad used to have season tickets to the Seahawks. A few times I got to go with him. It was cool. I loved doing the Wave with the fans. And I knew when TV watchers had commercials because the guy with the orange gloves had his hands raised. Really, it was just a time to hang out with my dad. Now, I tend to only watch sports during the last few games of a playoff or championship game. Watching sports continues to be a social event for me. Playing sports is also a social thing.

Sports provides our heroes and role models. Extreme sports is just our newest way to test our personal limits and my cynical self feels it is just the newest plaything of those who want to skirt death.

Maybe sports is a form of pop culture that I understand least. I think I’ll leave that to other people. As I write this, I realize that I don’t think I care.
