The Catcher in the Rye: Creative Writing Assignment

Why the hell do so many people’s lives revolve around some stupid

football games played on a Sunday afternoon. I mean, do people actually enjoy

watching a bunch of overgrown morons bang into each other for 3 hours? There

are sometimes when I am amused by what happens in the game, but I can catch the

highlights in five minutes on the news instead of wasting my hole freaking day.

These morons (players) are getting paid millions of dollars to run around on a

football field all day long. That’s just the beginning of the money they make.

They get paid millions to be in a commercial or say that they wear a particular

brand of sneakers or something stupid like that. These guys have every modern

convenience. They have heaters built into the benches for when it gets cold

outside. For Christ sake, when it is hot outside they have fans that blow cold

water on them, sort of like an air conditioner. Some of these guys even have

the nerve to give up on a play or two. They can even admit to their fans

thatthey didn’t want to get hurt or something really stupid like that and expect

them to still cheer for them. The worst part about actually going to watch a

game at the stadium rather than on TV is the prices. To buy a ticket for a

seat in the stadium really is not that bad, but after that they charge an arm

and a leg for whatever you buy. They do not let people bring their own food

into the game so when the spectators get hungry the sunuvabitch’s charge

outrageous amounts on the same food that they sell in a supermarket for a

quarter the price. People almost have top be as rich as the players to bring a

whole family to the game and be able to feed them without going broke in the

process. Anyway, the thing that pisses me off the most is these innocent kids.

It is not really the kids that piss me off but the fact that they look at these

moron in uniforms and think of them as role models. Jesus Christ many of them

are current or former drug user’s, steroid abusers, or even spousal abusers.

Why do are youth look up to them? Hopefully they will realize most of them are

no role models. The people who should be their role models are the people which

are in their lives on a daily basis, not these phony athletes. Parents,

grandparents, aunts, uncles, teachers are just some of the real models our youth

should look up to. However, no matter what I think, the idiocies will continue

to occur every Sunday.
