Great Middle School Football Play – So Why Does It Have Me Depressed?

I watched this play and I thought it was great. Then a pall came over me. I had to go to the YouTube comments.

Sure enough-

“He was down.”

“It looks like his knee was down to me.”

“Play was dead.

The play doesn’t matter to me. I have no stake in it. It’s just that these sort of people depress me. The idiotic chatter, no matter what it’s about, bothers me.

These people vote. These people sit next to the emergency exit. These people drive near you. These people are witnesses at trial. These people see a knee down on the turf.

These people are stupid.

  1. I just got off the local commuter train. Large carriage young female was trying to get through crowded train. Called people rude for not making enough room for her. She belongs in later category of people that make me sad, but faith was restored when several other passengers look at her and shaking their heads and one ( of course he just slammed a tall boy at 11am) said out loud that maybe she should suck in her gut a little more.

  2. These pathetic people live in a sad zero-sum game world, where they honestly believe anyone else’s happiness correspondingly diminishes their own. That somebody else being in the spotlight means that they are somehow being put down.

    This transfers easily in their (simple) minds to someone else succeeding means that they are being oppressed. Night after night they are told this is true by a media that believes not that the pie should be bigger, but that all pieces of a smaller pie should be absolutely equal. Harrison Bergeron can’t come soon enough for them.

    These people are accomplished at complaining, but little else. And so that is what they do.

    And vote for moar free stuff.

  3. I think people have gotten meaner and stupider since Obama’s coronation. I swear you can’t drive or walk anywhere without observing acts of oblivious entitlement. Be that, drifting out of lanes on the road, just passing someone in the grocery aisle or walking down the sidewalk.

    We’ve gotten so good at predicting what stupidness we are about to witness it’s not fun anymore.

  4. The closest person to the play was the referee, with a perfect angle to see if his knee went down. No whistle, no knee down. But then again, that’s something called “evidence”.

  5. Was that a “hat trick” during a “rubber game” in the midst of a “full court press” among the “top seeded” (or “top seated”) players? I have no idea what I’m saying.

    Especially when it come to “Bombers” or “Gangrene”.

    All I know is, it’s probably got something to do with “Mookie” or perhaps “Mel Stottlemyre.”

  6. The first YouTube comment I read (from “powell vd” – 21 hours ago) said, “slowed it down and blew it up. his legs were on top of the defender and his feet landed on the turf. no part of his body touched the turf.”

    Sounds good to me.

    🙂

  7. Believe it or not, in all seriousness, I felt bad for ONLY making a joke about this.
    The actual play is truly amazing. Kid is totally flipped upside down and doesn’t even hesitate for a second from the mission at hand. Not only that, he STILL throws a perfect pass and the other kid is ready, willing and able to catch it.
    I don’t follow games at all but this is truly fantastic to watch, made even more spectacular by the fact that they’re middle schoolers!
