Even if you're an ardent baseball fan, you will probably die laughing at this artful and hilarious column putting down baseball and other American sports as published in England's Guardian newspaper:
Now here's an odd thing: most American males over the age of 30 will parrot the line that soccer is "deadly" to watch. And yet every week throughout the summer, hundreds of thousands of Americans (all allegedly cursed with the attention span of hyperactive gnats) dutifully troop into state-of-the-art mega-stadiums to spend three hours (or longer) watching baseball - a sport so glacially tedious that it makes even the dullest MLS soccer game look like Topless Humans v. Gorillas No-Rules Roller Derby On Crystal Meth.
Baseball is the Emperor's New Clothes writ large - make it dull, and the mugs'll still come. Watching the Philadelphia Phillies host the Washington Nationals earlier this year reminded me of the scene in Dawn Of the Dead where the zombies in the shopping mall travel up and down the escalators and stare into shop windows. There's no real reason for them to be there anymore, but still they keep coming.
Hahahaha . .. . . lots more like that in here:
