I used to be the second biggest NBA/Atlanta Hawks fan in town. Then the crybabies came and I quit. I’ve never seen more violence in sports than in Friday’s Pistons/Pacers game. Not even in the one boxing match I’ve attended. Glad I didn’t catch the game; saw the replays ad nauseam in latest news cycle.
Here are more reflections of American Culture I picked up in a brief morning scan of the news.
Blood sport gone bad:
Had to go to Australia to find a report about hunters in Wisconsin battling over a shooting position (tree stand); five dead, three wounded.
Blood on or off option:
Rush over to their Web site (you won’t find a link here) and buy your copy of “JFK Reloaded.” Relive the assassination through the sites of Lee Harvey Oswald in commemoration of that fateful November day.
The Scottish game maker, with “nothing but respect for Kennedy and for history,” is compassionate enough to provide a “blood option” so you can turn the gore on or off according to your stomach.
Blood or money?
Avarice, one of them Christian values 51% voted for? You must catch the new Monopoly Tycoon.
“Plan, invest, build, demolish, and bankrupt your opponents in a beautiful, real time, 3-D environment . . .”
“It’s all about money ? (sic) and making more of it than your opponents.”
Once they figure out the meaning of the word “avarice,” and it’s definitely an “anti-value,” it might be too late.
