The Game

I'm writing a paper for my Deviance class about violence in sport. During my research for the paper I came across this quote in an article:

"Serious sport has nothing to do with fair play. It is bound up with hatred, jealousy, boastfulness, disregard of all rules and sadistic pleasure in witnessing violence. In other words, it is war minus the shooting." - George Orwell

Bingo! And that's why professional sports have drafts...

In other news; I went to a wine and food extravaganza at the Delta on Saturday night. I met up with at least two people who, early in the conversation, asked me why I didn't have a girlfriend. I told both of them that it was because I was gay but only got to say "April Fools!!" to one of them before they walked away.

I guess the joke's on me...

Si don't worry I don't think anyone would believe you're gay. Are you still heading to Brokeback Mountain this summer??
