Okay, I'll admit it does take skill and all that to play football. But honestly, guys are getting paid millions of dollars a year for exceling at a glorified game of fetch? And it puts a lot of pressure on them, too. If they don't make the cut, they might lose a lot of money or be sent into a spiraling depression. So, in order to boost their chances of getting picked, they either a) train a lot or, b) use steroids. Frankly, I see no point to it. Yes, it's a fun pasttime and everything, but why must it be televised and placed bets upon and whatnot? Out of all the fun pasttimes in the world, why are sports the only things that are looked upon with as much respect, honor, and devoted insanity?
