Karl Marx said that Religion is the opiate of the people.  Now it's sport.  Just think of all the time the average male stares at the box watching sport, paying for pay per view, sky etc.  Yet we can't even remember the so important score even a year later.  Really all sport does is keep us dumb and stupid talking and worrying about the unimportant, instead of enjoying something more fulfilling and rewarding and meaningful.  After I watch sport on the box I always walk away with a sense of emtyness and restlessness.  Interestingly I don't get that when I actually get off my bum and go to a live game.  Even at a gathering, we males mainly talk sport.
