Why the caustic attitude?

You can argue that sports play a role in building character. I’ll agree with that point to a degree. Character and values are built and taught at home, then sharpened outside.

I’m not a supporter of competitive sports in any kind or fashion and even less nowadays, as sports are poisoned with the overarching influence (meddling) of sponsors.

As someone who knows individuals connected to professional sports, both athletes and coaches, I loathe the overcompetitive mentality they pass down to their own children and the children they coach. This severely alters how these children relate to others, introducing a quasi darwinist mentality of survival of the fittest; our society has left behind those laws the moment we decided to change our surroundings to better fit us.

So, kicking down on sports even more on one that is known for being highly destructive of an individual’s health and mentality is really not on par of attacking an individual or group for being who or what they are.

p.s

And even then, that has nothing to do with why I posted that picture.

American footbal has no representation whatsoever in Europe (yes, apparently some games are played here, like some sort of tour). Given this, why the flying crocodile on a bycicle am I seeing anything relate to it on a supermarket? On a novelty story? Okay, fine, it is a novelty but in this context it makes no sense.

And if you think I’m being cruel, what other people were saying about that item on the shelf was several degree worst.
