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 that they 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.
