football is sport and sport is entertainment
that is why he doesn't want another chris bosh on the team .. because he'll leave early for his own good and there won't be anything left to entertain wannabe
hey MsTA .. you got married and had a child with an entertainer! much like Cedric the entertainer
football is a sport .. and one aspect of sport is entertainment. it is not all about entertainment. not even close .... especially college football .. especially at georgia tech.
your words clearly highlight that you have no idea about georgia tech and what it stands for. i am sorry that ma tech isn't able to entertain you these days .. i hope you can find another school to entertain yourself with.
read bobby dodd's words one time, just one time. here's a cut and paste:
"Football is one of our great American games. It is the duty and responsibility of each of us to see that it is kept in its proper perspective, and that it is protected. We should see that it is used to attain the objectives that mean so much to our way of life.
We feel that the spectator can be most influential and instrumental in helping to achieve these objectives, if he will develop the right attitudes. May we suggest a few?
First, and foremost among these attitudes that must be developed, is the realization that in football there must be a winner and a loser (excepting the occasional tie). The fan who recognizes this principle gets a great deal more enjoyment from the game than one who becomes irritated, aggravated, and rambunctious when "his" team loses. We would never minimize the importance of winning, but it is very unfair to the coach, the player, and the school when the fan forgets it is impossible to "repudiate the law of mathematics"--i.e., there must be a winner and a loser.
It is important that each of us develop the art of appreciating great plays made by the opposition. We should always give our opponents credit, rather than criticize our team when the opposition makes a great play. We believe perfection in the execution of a great play in football is to be admired and appreciated, just as we appreciate and admire the work of a great artist in any field.
The spectator should remember the football players are just human beings. They perform at times under great pressure, and they, as all other earthly inhabitants, are likely to make mistakes. It behooves all of us to remember, "To err is human, to forgive, divine."
Finally, we should always keep uppermost in mind that football, with all its glamour, glitter, thrills and chills, plus everything that makes it great, has one thing more important than all of these combined--that is, the boy who plays it."
