OK, I think sports are cool and fun and all that, but I saw the dumbest thing and just had to say something. Apparently some famous baseball player guy got himself kicked-out of a major league game last night on account of a questionable “strike” call by the ump. The guy was literally acting like a 7-year-old child…and then his old-guy manager came out of the dugout to defend his tantruming player by jumping up and down, screaming in the ump’s face, and kicking dirt. I literally laughed out loud at the stupidity of the whole thing. He & the ump went at it like gorillas fighting for turf. It’s a frickin’ game!
Now, there is a time and place to get worked up, for sure….like when someone’s threatening my family, or abusing a child, or stealing from an old lady. As a society, sometimes I think we’ve lost perspective about what’s truly important.
