The absurdity

Of sports, of politics, of humanity.

I was standing over the urinal at the local pub, and having passed the picture on the left (maybe it will be the one above) on a wall on my way in and had the rather unexceptional revelation of the ridiculousness of partisanship.
- Yes, after a few beers - the source of all wisdom.

The absurdity that he could be that good and be in that kind of shape?

I can understand people rooting for their schools sports teams, but professional teams, I don't really understand. Just because you happen to live in a particular place, your some how part of.....what?

You just grow up around it. The Bears were on TV every Sunday for as long as I can remember. I grew to like them. Jordan was on the Bulls when I was a young, impressionable kid. That one is self explanatory. I am a pretty diehard bears fan, but only a casual Bulls fan at this point. I follow players much more so than teams. In, basketball I enjoy watching Kobe play. By default I root for the lakers. If he would up on the Jazz, I would become a Jazz fan and the lakers would slip into oblivion.

You are upset that the Red Sox sold Babe Ruth to the Yankees NINETY YEARS AGO?

You are right, that is Absurd.

Wool uniforms seem pretty absurd.
