I should be proud because....

TheCatWoman

I'm often told that I should be proud of things like sporting achievements, but I hate sport and if it disapeared the only thing I'd notice was that my normal progames wern't being messed about because of it. It dosen't matter what sport is, mens, womens team or individual, I dont' care and I resent being told I should.

Can anyone give me a reason why I should care, because I really don't understand this national pride thing in sport, or much else to be honest.

  • I couldn't kick a ball, in anger. But I love the sense of bondage among fans. (not that sense of bondage, of course)

    I tried the Academic route, to success. No joy, either.

    The problem is that our society pigenholes, and comnpartmentalises, us into cliques and interests; from School onwards. It's so systemic, working in a Team Environment is well-nigh impossible. And, for the likes of us, everyone is an enemy.

    All the Football talk centers around what's on TV, rather than one's local Club. The issue isn't football, it's the media.
