5.) Why people insist on buying the newest version of Madden, 2K, NHL, etc.
I get buying a new version every three or four years. Possibly even every two years. But dropping fifty dollars a year on a game that virtually doesn't change from year to year (except a new class of rookies, ratings, and players who have retired) never really made sense to me. I'm fine playing with a year old roster, and with the wonders of the PS3 and Xbox 360, we even have the ability to upgrade our rosters so that the ratings, and players don't even change. Buying it every three years, or four, at least I can notice a difference in the graphics and the gameplay
4.) LPGA players playing in PGA events
For a full explanation of why this bothers me so much, read my post from yesterday here. Suffice to say, it shouldn't happen. And I hope the number of LPGA players playing in PGA events continues to decrease
3.) People who can't find a way to divide tons of money
This just bothers me in general. I get that you have principles that you stand for, but the NFL generates a ton of money, both for players and owners alike. I get that players live literally paycheck to paycheck. And I get that some of them don't make as much as others. I also get that some owners lose money on their teams, either because they have terrible teams, and no one wants to watch them play, or they just do dumb things with their teams. However, it's nine billion dollars. Like President Obama, I don't care how they divide it. Just get it done.
2.) Politics in sports
I pay taxes, same as any other United States citizen. I pay these taxes, one because I have to, but two because I believe it goes towards funding education, infrastructure, and other things that are over my head. What I'm sure, what I know I don't pay taxes for, is for the federal government to prosecute players like Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens about steroid usage. So they lied about steroids. Let sports deal with sports. Politics, stick to politics. Lets keep the two worlds separate
1.) Yankee Haters
I'm a Mets fan, personally. My best fan is a Red Sox fan. As fans of teams that have a distinct rivalry with the Yankees, our hatred of the Yankees is justified. But for a fan of say, the Padres to hate the Yankees? I realize that lots of small market teams complain about the way the Yankees pay for the best, and therefore that's why they are competitive every year. However, they carry a winning tradition greater than any other team in the United States, from any sport. If all someone has on the Yankees is the fact that they win, they have no right to hate on the Yankees.
There's my list, readers. I hope that you leave me your feedback, as always
