Football is just not an important game

    Their dangers in everything man. Your post is nice and all but you cant live your life in fear. I loved playing football and i know that guy did. Its the same as driving a motorcycle those things are death machines but people ride them because they LOVE IT. These people that are trying to ruin football are trying to destroy the thing me and prob all CF players love. This morning while you were driving your car you had a higher chance of dieing in a car wreck then that guy dieing on the field. The fact is life is dangerous. You can live your life in a bubble, im gonna live mine to the fullest.

    I think everyone missed the point of the post. I played football and enjoyed every minute of it. I'd do it again. My point was that in the big scheme of things, winning and losing football games just really isn't important. We as fan get upset when we lose and feel superior when we win. What happened today totally changed how I feel about that.

    i didnt twist anything . Hes saying the game is pointless but its not TO ME.People love it the players love it it impacts their lives for better or worse. I understand thats his personal opinion. What i said was also directed at everyone that is attacking football for being to ruff it pisses me off. These players voluntarily play this game their not forced. These people need to find something else to complain about.

    I'm saying winning or losing is pointless in a fans life. I'm certainly not saying its pointless for the players playing it. Sports is a very important part in any young teen or adult life. We, as fans, IMO overvalue the importance of wins and losses because of pride, nothing more. What happened today put things in perspective for me and how I think I'll value wins and losses moving forward.
