get a life
On most occasions, I have an objection to that saying. I think most people have a life. It just includes priorities that aren't mine, so I consider them unimportant. It doesn't make them any less important to those that give them more weight than I. Therefore, those folks have a life. It's just different than mine, and thank God for that...or else it'd be hell trying to get a tee time and the bike lane on local roads would be a traffic jam.
Now, having said that, some people really need to get a life. I'm speaking here of fanatical football fans. Being a football fan, or sports fan of any nature, is fun. you love your team and ride the emotional roller coaster of their ups and downs. They reward you. They frustrate you. You lie awake thinking...if Matt Jones could only hit somebody and hold on to the ball....but it can go too far. There's a slippery slope and way too many people treat it like a sliding board. When you get to the point where you dislike someone, simply because they like a different team than you do, something's way wrong. Philadelphia Eagles fans are famous for it. The cops used to dress up in opposing team gear at Eagles games and haul people out of the stands on assault charges...until that job got too scary. I don't know if the new stadium has one, but Veterans stadium had a courtroom in the basement somewhere, with a judge during football games, so they could get the offenders off to jail expeditiously....and Philly fans speak of that with pride. I know someone who went to the Jaguars/Steeler game. Coming back from the concession stand at halftime, with his arms full of food, wife walking with him and wearing a Jaguar cap, someone sucker punched him for no reason. He didn't speak to the guy. Never made eye contact...never saw him coming. Just out of nowhere, because he had on a Jaguar hat....pow...right in the gut and food flying everywhere. When the cops showed up, the puncher tried to say the guy with his arms full of food hit him first. C'mon people....because a guy lives in a different city and likes a different team than you do....you hit him?
Then there's this. Yet another idiot went to jail because he's a fanatical football fan. It seems this clown in Wisconsin loves the Packers. Most people in Wisconsin do. This guy, though, takes it to another level. His seven year old son didn't want to wear a Packers jersey during the Packers/Seahawks game, but dad insisted...to the point where he tied the kid up and taped a jersey onto him. Yo dude...get a life. No, not that one. Find something a little healthier, for you and your son.
