[Worst Sports Related Jobs]
By: Kevin Cottrell, Jr.
You think your job stinks? (Don't agree if you're at work) Well, it can always be worse. Have you ever watched a sporting event live and or on television and wondered how some people may have obtained the job that they have, such as: A Mascot, time keeper, or the person that runs across the court to pick up tennis balls during a match... Well, here's a list of Sports Ventz 10 Worst Sports Related Jobs.
10. Grounds Keepers at Baseball Games- Their main responsibility is to cut and water grass. I don't know about you but when I was a kid cutting grass was one of the worst chores of all. Not to mention they must rake dirt and lay down the tarp in the middle of a thunderstorm.
9. Pro/College Stadium Bathroom Janitors- their main responsibility is to clean urinals after drunken fans and they can't tell the difference between urine and draft beer.
8. Horse Racing Attendant- Needless to say cleaning one's manure is absolutely disgusting. The smell is beyond bearable and quite frankly it makes you feel like s***.
7. Nascar Team "Tire" Changer- I know you've seen these guys get hit by passing cars on your favorite highlight shows. The job may seem cool but let's face it, there is a lot of pressure on you to change ONE tire.
6. MLS Player- There are no fans in America willing to cheer them to victory. And if you ask me they aren't respected by other soccer players around the world.....
5. NBA Ball Boy- Their main duty is to collect players sweaty towels and stinky uniforms, also handing the players water, as if they can't get their own bottles. Lastly, they rebound 1,000 shots a day and they aren't allowed to attempt one jumper!
4. A Last Place Team Announcer- Let's face it, could you imagine having to sit through a complete 82 game schedule for the New York Knicks, or 162 games worth for the Florida Marlins...Not I, it seems to be a waist of 3 hours out of a day and most of all discouraging.
3. NASCAR "Checkered" Flag Waver- The title itself is self-explanatory. This designated individual has to sit 100 feet in the air and watch the drivers circle the track 500 times and on the 499th lap they wave a Green flag, followed by the Checkered as the winner crosses. Talk about a waist of time!
2. GOLF "Caddy"- Unless you're Farnsworth Bentley who really wants to be someone's tag alone, personal "groupie"...Good shot "Tiger"! "Use this club Tiger"... Their claim to fame is to stand around in the hot sun, walking 18 holes with a hot one-piece jump suit on measuring slopes and suggesting clubs. When a player makes a mistake the Caddy gets fired but when the player makes a great shot, the Caddy gets no glory for his assistance. Some Job!
1. A Boxer's "Bucket Holder"- The name itself sounds disgusting. Their main duties include catching blood, sweat, and most of all spit and saliva... Chew on that!
