Last night there was a football game. It was on national TV. Many were anticipating this game for a long time. Brett Favre, who retired from football, decided to come back. The Packers said they moved on and traded him to the Jets. He was released after one year and signed with the Minnesota Vikings. The Packers have Aaron Rodgers at quarterback. If you know anything about football and watch any sports news, you had no choice but to be subjected to this storyline repeatedly. Even, The Onion had an article about this. Needless to say, there was a lot of talk about this.
The game ended with Minnesota winning...and Brett Favre had an amazing game. Folks were already bitter before the game on both sides of the issue. There are folks that truly hate Brett Favre because he played for teams beside the Green Bay Packers. There are folks that hate the Packers for ever letting Favre go when he still wanted to play. All of this hate can gotten considerably vocal and it was sad to see so much hatred and anger spewed out, especially over the internet.
Folks hoped that Favre would get injured during the game...
Really? How does one honestly hope on someone for such a stupid reason.
Over the last few years, I have learned not to allow sports to get me too riled up. Trust me, I still get emotional, but nowhere near where I used to. I can't be alone. There must be others who allow sports to take up too much of their lives and need a reality check. Sports should be entertaining. We shouldn't take them so seriously that we wish injuries on folks.
