Now you ask: Kyle, what can we
do to reverse this disgusting trend?
As much as I’d like to, we can’t
riot the streets. Petitions won’t work,
and marching around with big protest
signs is too boring. The only way I
sed to stop corporate America from
conquering sports is to stop watching
sports altogether. We have to stop buy
ing tickets, stop ordering pay-per-view,
and stop purchasing team merchan
dise.
But let’s be realistic: That’s out of
the question. As much as I hate its
•progress, I will always love sports, and
I will always watch it. Even if I have
to witness the www.Yahoo.com Bowl,
I’ll still watch college football. Even
if my favorite team is playing at Pig
gly-Wiggly Field, I will go see them
play. And even if my team is spon
sored by Ex-Lax, I will still buy a jer
sey.
Sports fans like me tragically have
a lot in common with abused wives.
No matter how much you mistreat us,
we still can’t let go. It’s the com
mon fan’s paradox, and it’s something
we have to get used to.
Is it too late to start saving up
for my own stadium?
