Friday Night Lights

Been watching that show a little bit recently on NBC.com. While eating or making dinner or doing laundry. Can't take the show seriously. I mean it's about football. The show is well made, but it's about football. Watching sports is like watching porn - you are watching someone else have all the fun. And you can quote me on that. If a small town like Dillon exists and I would not be surprised if one does, man that is sad. How pathetic would those people have to be to get so riled up about highschool football? I guess if you have nothing else in your life.

Kinda like people who get so excited about being whatever race they happen to be. Why be so proud of something that you had nothing to do with? It's not like anyone works to be Italian, or Irish, or Chinese. It's preselected for you by chance and your parents. be proud of something that you had a hand in. Maybe I am too much of a Euromutt to care what ethnicity I am. Isn't pride of one's ethnicity also being glad that one is not another ethnicity? Doesn't pride of ethnicity then a racist idea?

But back to football...So if it is pathetic to get so excited about highschool football, is it even more pathetic to watch a TV show about highschool football?
