Let's face it.. Sports is all about disaster. That's why we watch.. from the early days of WIDE WORLD OF SPORTS where the ski jumper never made it off the ramp...to Joe Theisman's leg snapping in half....to that russian female ice skater who got planted on her face...it's all about the disaster.
It doesn't even have to be a physical disaster. It could be a mental thing. Chris Webber calling a timeout without any to call(OHHHH....THERE GOES THE NATIONAL TITLE!!!).....the Chicago Cubs blowing it(ohhhhhh....there goes our trip to the World Series!!!!)....etc.
Writing this came to mind as I'm watching the Olympics here. Since I don't know anything about half of these "sports" I'm just looking for someone to make a big enough mistake that even the announcers go ......ohhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!
Just like a car crash.....just like the words GUILTY AS CHARGED....we would rather see it go wrong than right. It makes for a better story.because the fish wasn't this big....it was THIS BIG!!!!!!
Peace.
and don't forget...
"THE BEATINGS WILL CONTINUE UNTIL MORALE IMPROVES!!!
