THINK ABOUT IT FOR  A MIN   ..... LIVING IN A  WORLD WITHOUT  PRO SPORTS   .. WOULD THIS BE A GOOD  THING OR A BAD THING ??

WHAT  WOULD WE DO WITH  OUR TIME EVERY SUN COME FALL  ?   ..  COULD WE BE DOING SOMETHING  BETTER  WITH THE TIME WE SPEND  IN FRONT OF THE  T.V. WATCHING  BASKETBALL  OR  FOOTBALL   ETC ??  .. WOULD   OUR  SOCIAL  CULTURE BE EFFECTED AS A WHOLE  ?   .. INSTEAD  OF  AVOIDING  OUR FAMILY MEMBERS   OR TELLING  OUR SPOUSES ...  G/F'S  .. CHILDREN  ETC  .. "   WAIT FOR A TIME  OUT OR THE END OF THE GAME   HUN  "  OR TUNING THEM  OUT  ALL TOGATHER  WE ACTUALLY GOD FORBID   LISTEN  TO WHAT  THEY HAVE TO  SAY .. WHAT ABOUT THE  ATHLETES THEMSELVES    DO WE  THINK ABOUT  HOW  THEIR LIVES  ARE  AFFECTED   WHEN  CHILDREN  OR WIFES  OF ATHLETES  DONT  HAVE  THEIR  DADS  OR   HUSBANDS    HOME WHERE  THEY ARE   NEEDED MOST ??   DO WE THINK OF THEIR  SCARAFICE ?  AS  THEY   GET TO  SEE  THEM  ONLY  ONCE INA  BLUE MOON ?  AND WHAT ABOUT THE  PRESSURE  THAT  WE  AS  SPORTS  FANS  PUT  ON   THESE  ATHLEETES   TO   PREFROM AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL   POSSIABLE ?  DONT YOU THINK THAT  TAKES A  TOLL ON THEM  MENTALLY AND  PHYSCIALLY TO HAVED A  WHOLE  CITY'S HOPES AND DREAMS  OF  DELIVERING A  TITLE  IN   THEIR  RESPECTIVE SPORT ?  .. WITHOUT ALL  THAT  PRESSURE   DO YOU THINK ATHLETES  WOULD HAVE  MORE  HAPPY  AND  PRODUCTIVE LIVES ?  AND WHAT  ABOUT   COMMUNITYS AS A  WHOLE    SURELY MONEY SPENT  ON  ARENAS  AND  STADIUMS  AND   ADVERTISING  ETC  COULD BE SPENT  ON MUCH NEEDED  PROGRAMS LIKE   SCHOOLS  ..   ROADS   .. HEALTH CARE ETC   ...

INA  WORLD WITHOUT  PRO SPORTS  DO YOU  THINK   THAT  OUR TEENS AND  PRE -TEENS  COULD GO BACK TO  PLAYING SPORTS  FOR THE  PURE JOY   INSTEAD OF  PRESSURING   OUR   KIDS  AND  YOUNG ADULTS  INTO  PLAYING FOR A  SCHOLARSHIP SO   THAT THEY  CAN  TURN PRO  ?  .. WOULD THAT BE A SUCH A  BAD THING ?  ..... 

WITHOUT  PRO SPORTS  WE WOULDNT HAVE TO HEAR ABOUT STEROIDS    OR WHINY  MILLIONARES COMPLANING   CAUSE  THEY  FEEL   THERE  NOT  GETTING  PAID  ENOUGH TO PLAY A CHILDS GAME  ... WITHOUT PRO SPORTS  WE WOULDNT HAVE TO  WORRY ABOUT  REF'S  WHO   SEEM TO  GET IT  WRONG   YEAR AFTER YEAR AFTER YEAR  ...... OR  THE  PPL  WHO   COMPLAIN ABOUT  IT   LOL ...

WITHOUT  PRO SPORTS WE WOULDNT  HAVE  TO HEAR ABOUT  SAID  ATHLETES  SHOOTING  UP  STRIP CLUBS AT   2  IN THE MORNING AND MAKING THEMSELVES   LOOK  LIKE   COMP   IDIOTS

CLEARLY I'VE POINTED  OUT SOME  BAD THINGS ABOUT PRO SPORTS  .. I'M NOT HEAR TO SAY  THAT PRO SPORTS IS A BAD THING   ..OR THAT PRO SPORTS  IS THE SOURCE OF ALL  THAT IS EVIL IN THE WORLD  .. FAR FROM IT   ... BUT  LIKE ANYTHING     YOU GOTTA  KNOW  HOW  TO  NOT LET IT   CONTROL  YOU'RE  LIFE  OR HAVE IT BE THE END  ALL AND BE ALL  OF   WHO YOU ARE   .. WITHOUT PRO SPORTS  WE WOUDLNT  KNOW   THE  RUSH OF A  GAME   7  ..  OR    OUR FAV   PLAYER SMASHING  ONE OUT OF  THE  BALLPARK  FELT LIKE  ... OR   MARCH MADNESS  ....   OR THE COUNTLESS  TIMES  JORDAN   BROKE  TEAMS  HEARTS  ..  WE WOULDNT  KNOW  THE BOND THAT  EXSISTS  BETWEEN  TEAM MATES    OR  BEING INA  LIVE  ARENA   AS  YOU'RE  FAV  TEAM    WINS  AN NBA  FINALS   .... LOL WITHOUT  PRO SPORTS  MOST OF US WOULD BE INA  CHURCH ON SUN   ... AT TIMES  PRO SPORTS  GIVS US SOMETHING TO BELIEVE IN WHEN WE HAVE NOTHING ELSE  OR  NOBODY ELSE TO BELIEVE IN   .. PRO SPORTS  CAN  UNITE  TOTAL STRANGERS   WHO HAVE NOTHING  IN  COMMON   BUT THEIR  FAV TEAM   AND  FORGE   LASTING  FRIEND SHIPS . 

I HAVE  GIVN MY CONS AND  PROS  FOR  PRO SPORTS  SO I TURN TO YOU'RE   OPNION  AND  I ASK THE QUESTION  .. A WORLD WITHOUT  PRO SPORTS  .. A GOOD THING  OR A BAD THING ?
