I am aware the game is worth millions, but I did not know about billions! Billions! Wow! I told that guy that the players bring in the money and that is why they make so much, but he was still bent out of shape because he still think the money should go into Wheel Chairs for the poor. He was a 6w5 and very much for the underdogs. He was they type of guy who did not trust too many people and did not agree with how things were going in society. You know how 6w5 can be.
He vents it to me because he knows I will listen to him without any negative tension coming from me or maybe because he sees that I am genuine in my niceness. I understood his compassionate views concerning those people who deserve to have wheel chairs, but I also understood the view of capitalism of football players earning so much because they bring so much in, like a business, which I did tell him.
Hey, I know it is a waste of time arguing with him about his views, so I let it be, I had my say about it. He was a nice guy to have for a friend, yet he was a strange creature (so is a lot of my friends). He is suspicious of people, but when he did trust me, this gay man likes to slap my butt. ha, ha, ha.
Does all the seats cost a $100 or more? I doubt people will stop paying all that money when in return they are going to get their adrenline pumped up in the excitement of competition! The set backs of being tackled just a few yards closer to getting a touch down and you only have about 4 ties to get there, then you may have to settle for a field goal. Oh now, it's the other team and the excitment of seeing your team tackle their players, just before they made a touch down, which is 6 less points that you have to worry about. Did you get excited thinking about those words as you read them?
How much does the box seats cost? What about College Football? I was thinking about going with my family to see my cousin play at UNM (University New Mexico), yet I know it is not the same as seeing a good NBA game. Is UNM a good team? It would be nice to meet my cousin, then I will have family in New Mexico too. :o)
I wonder am I too shy for all those people! Most of my close friends seems to be loners, even if they are friendly, so I have became more of a loner, somewhat, in spite of how friendly and outgoing I am. Does that make sense to you?
Oh yea, those Miami Dolphins suffered a great lost when Don left. I knew they were going down hill when I heard that announcement on the news! I am not much into football, but I am a Nine, who can go with it or not at all. I am flexible. With two boyfriends ahead of Froggy, I would watch the Miami Dolphins (our team) play against the New York Jets (his roommate team). It was fun to play against the roommate. ha, ha, ha. My daddy think the guy who likes New York Jets needs to leave Florida. ha, ha, ha.
You are funny! You really want Froggy to type the football team? ha, ha, ha. He hates football, which in not uncommon among the artistic Fours from my experience over the years. They would rather go to a museum than a football game. Museums of science is fun! I can't wait to Froggy take me again! Isn't football mainly a counterphobic 6, competitive 3, and aggressive 8 type of game, even though other types watch it?
