THE GAME....by kelvin david

It’s 6am and the morning birds are making their calls and Breakfast is calling. Q-tip is busting a rhyme on my sound system. And all is well in this Arsenal fans world for once.

Some Man u fans out there must be bitching about how they lost the game right about now, shaking their heads in disbelief at the fact that they lost at home, and their so called savior…the boy wonder on the ball, Rooney, remained just a Boy amongst Men. The brain behind Man u, Alex Ferguson, the mental equal to say Professor Xavier of the X-men...lost to his arch nemesis Magneto a.k.a Jose Maurino in a battle of mental prowess. I think someone should tell the Man u fans that a soccer match cannot be won only through cheating, buying out of officials and plain in your face brute like thuggery but more from playing it like the beautiful sport it really is with grace, style and precision….watch Arsenal play some day yah.

I personally think it all came down to the fact that Tim Howard the Man u goalie lost his concentration for a split second and let in an easy goal from a very unimpressive free kick from Damien the mad man duff. Someone’s got to be the Bitch for the millions of Man u fans slapping. Tim you poor bastard, you have my condolences.

While Chelsea fans, these days just can’t shut up about their team, how strong they are and how well they’re playing…and how they’re going to win all four trophies…. And yaddah yaddah yaddah. Hey guess what, if you gave 40 billion dollars to every club in the EPL they could also be bragging about the same thing too. At this point in time Chelsea is playing their soccer in a fantasy league which they have the ultimate cheat code. All you need to do is type the words: R-O-M-A-N A-B-R-O-M-O-V-I-C-H.

A Chelsea fan out there is busting his friends (man u fan) balls about how they beat them down. The agony of defeat and the feeling of being another’s plebian bitch. Days of going through some guys skid marked undies cause you bet a weeks laundry duty…bad move dude. I bet there was some testicular trading going down yesterday night for the wankers who could not come out with real money to bet.

I’m sure the neutrals who were playing for a full time draw got totally screwed …and the penalties that would have made some lucky guy a few hundred more dollars did not come by. Right about now someone vile and totally pissed is offing some guy in a dark and dingy part of the world. Ah!!! the Bane of sports!!

The game that is truly played these days is not even on the soccer field or basketball or tennis court. The trash talking that used to be on the playing arena has now been taken off it. Something that used to belong only to the players and maybe the managers is now, something that the hungry media and the fan crazed millions feed off. Its like a boxing match…and folks want to see who floats like a butterfly and stings like a bee. It’s a frenzy for sporting contracts and commercial deals. Being a pure athlete does not seem to be good enough for anyone these days. You got to be media savvy, good looking, have a sense of style and not screw up.

What happened to just being great for running the mile under a min , winning a championship on the buzzer, winning 7 gold medals in one Olympics and all this while looking plain, earning peanuts and still gaining the respect of people everywhere.

Athletes still play a major role in our world today, everything from moral values to how far the human spirit can be stretched….but big evil corporations have bastardized that image by making materialism and commercialization a stronger role model for the younger generation to be motivated by. Hey I still do buy Nike sneakers because I love MJ…but I also believe that I play sports with the right spirit.

I will cease my rambling for now.
Am off to have breakfast with vulgar looking old men.
Drive safe friends.
