I still have enough giveacare left in the tank to enjoy a Flames game and would love a deep playoff run, buy can't really care as much about other teams and being an anti-fan.

But I don't live near many Oilers fans either.
I hate this saying . Is a barber just playing dolly ? Is a persesonal design artist just doodling kids drawings ? Is a architect just playing grown up Legos? Are landscapers just doing kids chores? Are chefs just helping mommy making dinner? Etc etc.

I get the sentiment behind the comment but It's really disrespectful. Professional sports is as valid of career as any . It fully engulfs their lives . They do work hard to get to perfect thier crafts. This is just a butt hurt comment people make cuz they get paid more than most. It is what it is but that saying is a pet peeve.
