Sports is a diversion that maintains people’s reactions and perceptions of the world on the same level as fourteen-year-olds.

Couldn't agree with you more on that subject. I work with a sports alcoholic and he cannot bear to hear bad news of any kind. Assistant high school football, baseball coach, etc. Everything is “Go team!” If everything isn't going just dandy he really loses it. When he asks how you are, any reply other than "great" is not acceptable.

It's not just sports. It's all the crap on television in general. I rarely see a TV because I haven't owned one in over a decade, but every time I do, it seems like it's on a logarithmic journey into hell.

Or as the guy said: "I turned up the brightness, but it didn't help".
