We the Viewers...

You know as you grow up, and even when you reach adulthood you stumble across those people who have a dying passion for something that seems a little ridiculous. Like when you see those college students cry in the crowd after their school football team lost. Or when you see a stream of Facebook posts from girls, who are still pissed about who the bachelor chose to wed. Like after 12 seasons or whatever, people still don't know that show is completely staged. There are just certain things that happen in life where people seem to get so emotional, but in reality that specific event really doesn't do a lot of justice, and to all those people who stress about reality TV, and sporting events, I can assure you...that next day, is going to be exactly like the one day before, and the one before that. Now don't get me wrong, I have been guilty of this before. I was torn when the U.S.A lost in the World Cup, or when Nickelodeon stopped airing Doug. Those are fairly legit reasons right? Not really...because at the end of the day, by me being extremely angry, or upset, my emotions will not directly effect the outcome in any sort of way. I mean in high school there were people in the stands crying when our high school football team lost in playoffs (and yes, I am calling those people out because it is embarrassing and shameful). It is fucking high school! sure prom was fun, but when people still reflect on that as one of the greatest, and most glamorous nights of their life? yikes... 

The important thing to understand is that things like sports, TV shows we really need to just enjoy them for what they are. Cheer and support a team (GO UNITED!), but when they lose, or things don't go their way...don't cry, or throw chairs, or beat your girlfriend. It's not like your on the team! In fact, those teams don't even know that you are a fan, so by you cheering or booing it really doesn't matter. it's fun...but don't take it over the top. All your doing is embarrassing yourself. To make matters worse...if you don't actually play sports, but you "know everything there is to know about the sport", or your that "number 1" fan who paints up and goes to all of the games with out a shirt on so you can drink, and showoff how fat you are to only prove the only thing you could beat me in is having a heart attack first, you are the worst! These are the guys who still live the high school dream...and constantly bring up  the times when they were the 3rd string punter on their state championship high school team. When you see these guys at the national championship football games, in the crowd going on their 9th year of college and still have a semester left, who are crying when their team loses! Oh it's embarrassing!! and hilarious because you know that your not that guy (at least I hope not). 

 NOTE: if you have a parent, brother, or relative..or an absolute best friend...not like a 'friend' that you had chemistry with and you borrowed a pencil once, and now that he is the starting right guard for the football team..you two are somehow BFF's...but and actual  very good friend, then and only then does the rules of controlling your emotions become void, and at that time you have every right to riot, cry, laugh, or whatever it may be pending the result. 

As for TV shit. 90% of all TV is bullshit. Again don't get me wrong, I am heavily addicted and watch the shit out of all the worst TV show's. But when, people lose on The Amazing Race or get kicked off of The Challenge. Don't be that person that cries for them, or is pissed because "they should have won". this sort of behavior is more embarrassing than when sports fans get out of control. I am not trying to be sexist...but this sort of behavior you find mostly in girls. The kind of girl who judges each girl on 16 and pregnant, and thinks that it wouldn't even be a competition if they were on The Bachelor. Then they post that on Facebook or Twitter. An update that is on the lines of something like, "Ohhhhh myyy God! (insert name) is such a slut I can't believe the bachelor guy chose her over her...p.s sorority meeting tonight with the chicas luv yall!!" Then the next day you see some sort of religious quote from that same person... like they actually attend church regularly "Let only God judge people, for he is my savior" proverbs 11:23, or some shit like that, clearly I am not a church goer.  

Like I said though I am incredibly guilty of the sports thing...and so are the majority of all people, but I don't understand how society came to be that way. We got non athletes rioting in the street because their team won the Stanley Cup. Girls who should have a "free hand jobs" sign at parties every weekend who in turn yell at the TV when someone on the Real World has a threesome in the spa...like their the whores. The point is, I'm not even mad at the hypocrisy, judging, over emotional, brain dead people that walk among this earth. I find it very embarrassing yet incredibly entertaining, and fuck, that is why I get so much joy out of watching TV and sports. It's people like that that can make life more enjoyable
