The wrongs of the Lakers, the pro sports scam !

I don’t watch pro sports anymore and I will explain to you why. I don’t like the unnecessary drama and the hype built around these games. The players are made role models and legends for playing a stupid sport. The sad thing is some of them act worse than the children who are supposed to look up to them. The Leagues are all about making money period. It is no coincidence that the same teams make it to the playoffs every year. I believe the out comes to these contest are rigged for huge profits. I will use the L.A Lakers as a example of the things wrong with pro sports. The Lakers started in 1947 and as of now are worth 643 million dollars. The Lakers have a total of 17 championships and a combined 54 titles. Some of the greatest players in NBA history have played for them, please don’t think by accident. Why did everyone forget what Kobe Bryant did off the court ? Kobe didn’t lose all his endorsement deals during that time for nothing.

 All pro sports are used to do is nothing but entertain, rivalries are created on purpose. I think I might just post on each sport individually to prove my point. The NBA is just to easy a target, this might part 1 in a series. If I wanted to watch something that is supposed to be real but I new it was fake i would watch pro wrestling.

Let’s start with Ron Artest, and eveything wrong with this guy. I will let the following videos, including his latest stunt speak for it’s self.

What about this gem that happened before Ron Artest was even on the Lakers. Ron Artest has a history of these incidents. What’s up with the Pistons fans acting like children ?

The Leagues build Dynasties for fans to get behind. What about the Kings vs. Lakers, see for yourself. Does the name Tim Donaghy ring a bell ?

The money fans spend on pro sports is a complete waste. Please just listen to this interview or read this guys book. Why not  just go to his website http://www.thefixisin.net/index.html

The last example is to show the foolish behavior of Lakers fans after the game 7 championship win. You have to be blind or in denial to watch this and not see something wrong here. The video is from 2010.

In the end people have to decide for themselves. If all you desire is a escape from life try something different, like a movie. Watching movies is not as expensive, and just as entertaining.
