The Sports Suck! Net Ring

19 august '03 - Back again, Virgil writes this after two months in Europe. (pictures.) And below is a response to Matt T.'s email back a few months ago, written graciously by CG. This may revive interest, and if not, farewell.

   I want to respond to Matt T.'s post which criticized the views of this site, and who attacked the views of people who are against the excessive way we deal with sports in this society. This post details my own views, and I recognize that I wont be able to represent the views of everyone who has come to this site, or who may have complaints about sports, sports fanaticism, or any other aspect of the way we do sports in this society. I only represent my own views.

   To begin with, I want to say that I dont necessarily have any antagonism toward people who happen to like sports or who play sports. What people do in their free time is their business and their business alone. What I have a complaint against is the effect that this society's obsessive interest in sports has on many aspects of life in this society, in particular for those who are not part of the world of jockdom or jock-fandom. I couldnt care less if Matt, or any of his friends play sports or watch sports, so long as that doesnt affect negatively on the lives of people who really have more important things to do. And as long as this obsession that certain people in this society have, doesnt make this society as a whole a worse off place.

   For example, Matt T.'s own statement that "I agree, we should pay more attention to scientists and others like them." Well, thats a very nice one-sentence statement. But the question that needs to be asked is what is it that is preventing people from giving more acknowledgement to people like scientists, doctors,nurses, teachers, artists, and people like that who make our lives better every day. Well, I wouldnt say sports, in and of themselves, are necessarily the cause of these things being neglected. What I would say is that these things are neglected due to the collossally disbalanced value system that unfortunately exists in this society right now, one of whose traits is an excessive fetishizing of everything having to do with sports.

   Again, am I saying that sports are all bad? No! But they are definitely a large part of a value system that degrades intellect, academics, arts, etc. and overvalues physical prowess, conformity, and excessive competition. Sports are not only a side effect of this society's overvaluing of the latter traits, it also serves as a teacher of these values. In fact, it isnt even just sports, its the whole culture of sports fanaticism that sports are now caught in. That whole culture is what teaches conformity, excessive competition, and excessive regard for superficially important things like whether someone can put an orange ball through a hoop, or toss an inflatable pighide through two poles.

   Matt T. would probably say, as he did in his post, that I "miss the point of all athletic activity." Again, I have to say, that I don't have anything aginst sports, playing sports, or liking sports. Notice that I keep using words like "excessive" and "overvaluing" when talking about our society's obsession with sports. I don't think everything about sports is wrong. I think, if properly done, sports could be a good thing. Competition, and physical health, and striving for a goal are, up to a point, good things. They are a part of life. The problem is when they go from being something positive and well balanced, to being something that is excessive and leading to misplaced priorities.

   For example, Matt T. writes that one of the things he likes about sports is that "theres a winner and a loser and it does not require a drastic sacrafice [sic] or some stupid prise. [sic] In war people die. Who wants to die?" If sports were really handled properly in this society, they would eb exactly like Matt says they should be: a competitive game where theres a winner but no excessive sacrifice. But thats not the way it truly is. Atleast not in this country at this time. Ask anyone who was unfortunate enough to be the "last one picked" in school sports and they will tell you that the price to be paid for being unathletic, i.e. for not being the winner, is much more than a trivial matter. Often, in this society, when someone is stuck in an environment that they can't get out of, such as a school, and they are either unathletic, or don't care about sports, or for some other reason attracted the scorn of the popular athletes, they will be marked for repeated ridicule, abuse a nd harrassment. Meanwhile, sports have become such an obsessed over thing that athletes are no longer just regular students, but are treated like they are somehow there to be worshipped. Talented people are sometimes given special status, and that occurs in many areas beyond sports. But in many high schools, athletes are privileged way beyond any rational reason, and way beyond any actual benefit or service that they give to the school or community. Im sorry, but tossing a football around should not make someone a hero on the same level as, say, a firefighter.

   And yes, these things have consequences. When the situation at places like Columbine, and other schools where shootings occurred were subsequently investigated, they often found that there was a rigid hirearchy in those schools. The jocks were, more often than not, on top of the food chain, and often arrogant about their power and all too willing to use and abuse those underneath them. And the schools' establishemnt were all too eager to appease their jock heroes, even when they committed abuse. For example, look at what happened in Glen Ridge, New Jersey in 1989. In an incident documented in the book "Our Guys" by Bernard Lefkowitz, a group of high school football players, who were heroes of the community, sexually abused a young mentally retarded girl who looked up to them. When they were finally charged, the entire community rallied around their jock heroes, hindersing the investigation, and refusing to believ that their heroes could actually have done such a terrible act. T he police department itself, full of former high school athletes from the same football team, dragged its feet. It was a long time before they finally were able to bring even a semblence of justice for that young girl. This is just one of many similar true stories you hear about that occur all around this country.

   Matt also writes: "Sure athletes make a ton of money, so why should they be criticized because they make a ton more than anyone else. Musicians, movie stars. . . make tons of money why dont they gte criticized." Well, Matt, perhaps you have a point. On the one hand, I don't think I would criticize an athlete for taking money that others are all too eager to pay them. Nor would i do that to musicians and movie stars. If someone payed me that much, I'd grab it too. I would say that maybe it shows some seriously misplaced priorities that all of the above arepayed more than people who ruch into buring buildings and rescue people. But, the thing about sports in particular is that they have a particular relationship with certain aspects of American culture that really throws things out of balance and privileges it more than would be the case for musicians and movie stars. For example, take college sports. Imagine if you had a situation where a major Hollywood movie company decided to set up shop in a college campus: they would appropriate for themselves a big chunk of the property and feed off of the college's goodwill, all the movie stars would be given special privileges that others do not have (i.e. payed tuition, room, board, meals, etc.), and they would be so popular that few wuld dare to question whether the college is being improperly used for something other than education. Of course, this sounds ridiculous. What college would allow a big movie company to do that to them? But this is exactly the kind of set-up that occurs with our college sports. In several books by Murray Sperber, such as "College Sprts, Inc." and "Beer and Circus: How Big College Sports is Crippling Our Undergraduate Education," its been documented how the out-of-proportion system of college sports is having anegative effect on our colleges, distorting the priorities of colleges, and devaluing their purpose as places of education. By the way, its also been documented that sports don't provide nearly as much income for colleges as people think: most of it stays in the athletic department. And even if it did, shouldn't someone ask the question of whether our priorities are all wrong when we need big college sports just to make people care about our colleges and universities?

   Which brings me to the last point I want to make. Sure, some of the comments people make about sports in some of these anti-jock sites are just off-the-cuff comments. People talk about how they personally don't like sports, and how annoying they find jocks, and they make comments that are putdowns of that entire group. And sure, maybe that isnt too nice or even fair. But thats what people do when they get frustrated. Besides its no worse than the kind of things some jocks say about non-jocks. So, how about this: when jocks stop using their popularity to hurt others, and stop putting down people who arent into sports like they are, we'll stop making unfriendly comments about them. Solve the problem and you wont get any more complaints.

4/1/03 - Wow, five months. Well, Virgil (thy faithful... sort of) the webmaster has decided to make this the tentative last update on this site. It consists of a message received from Matt T., a SLAYER fan and sports fanatic. Before you read it, please visit XtempoXtantrumX and the Donkeybunch for humour and good times (at least updated more often than this site). Anyway, I'll get back to putting the 3 new XtempoXtantrumX songs on mp3.com and enjoy this burden being lifted off my back... which doesn't exist? Here's the email (apparently in reference to Ray's sportssuck.com, not this site):

Date: Mon, 31 Mar 2003 09:58:09 -0800 (PST) 
From:  [Matt T.] 
Subject: POST THIS 
To: antisports@yahoo.com 
       
First of all you people make me sick. You all completely miss the point of all athletic
activity. I'll respond to a bunch of your letters then 
I'll express my views.

These are parts of letters from sports suck.com

The January 03, 2002 letter is just pointless.

The January 06, 2002 letter, I agree, we should pay more attention 
to scientists and others like them, but then you have to call 
them "muscle head losers". Just for your info not every athlete
 is a steroid freak. Ever watch basketball, golf, tennis....?

The January 07, 2002 letter is probably one of the most 
stupid sayings I've ever heard. "If I had a dollar every 
time I HEARD a loudmouth jerk loudly bellow his opinion 
on pro-sports, I'd be a rich son-of-a-bitch". WHAT'S 
YOUR FUCKING POINT? That's like if I said, "If I had a 
dollar everytime a dickhead said they hated sports I'd 
be a rich son-of-a-bitch"

The January 15, 2002 letter, ok, so your coach was a 
dick, but you should not back down and make excuses.

The January 16, 2002 letter. "Why are sports even a 
Requirement at School?" Well gee.. Maybe it’s so that 
kids don't grow up to be lazy bums and watch Jerry 
Springer and junk all day. Also, you know that people
 have to PAY MONEY to go to the games, and where does
 that money go to? Not all to athletics, but to EDUCATION
 as well. You ever watch a college football or basketball
 game when millions are watching. Then a commercial comes
 on, and its not a beer commercial it's a commercial 
advertising that college. Telling everybody, especially
 young kids what that school studies and what education
 degrees they can get from there. Oh and if a girl likes
 a athlete Mike, why is she considered a loser to you?

March 11, 2002 letter. It's a free country they’re allowed
 to express their interests.

March 12, 2002 letter. "A retard convention". If they had
 a flag of SLAYER, (a heavy metal band) would that be a
 retard going to retard convention? Oh and nice choice 
of words regarding "retards". PATHETIC

May 12, 2002 letter. It dosen't matter what place your 
chosen, or if you understand strategy, big deal. "Go back
 to your $5.00/hour job at the mini mart". Show some class

May 29, 2002 letter. Have you ever heard of, "taking your
 head out of your ass?"

June 30, 2002 letter. “A sports fanatic is more masculine
 yet.” So fucking what.

July 11, 2002 letter. There is something wrong with you

July 19, 2002 letter. "What kind of person like football?
 Insecure men who base their manhood on their involvement
 with sports". You’re a fucking idiot. I root for the 
Chicago Bears, so

 why would I watch them if I did not feel they would win?
 DUH. INSECURE?

July 21, 2002 letter. "Three cheers for individuality". 
Gee I bet your real fun to be around. That's the more 
kind of people we need in this world people who only care
 about themselves. Maybe you should get a life, join a sports
 team and learn what, TEAMWORK means.

July 23, 2002 letter. "It's time we stood up for out rights
 and got together on this issue" WHAT THE FUCK. Are you 
saying sports are taking away your rights? That's one of
 the dumbest things I've ever read. "Why would I be interested
 in watching SOMEONE ELSE play?" That's probably one of the
 second dumbest thing I've ever read. That's like saying, 
"Why would I watch someone play a guitar and make sounds?”

August 27, 2002 letter. My point exactly

September 18, 2002 letter. Hey Sir John Patrick..., give 
me a break. Someone in a previous letter wrote they don't
 like sports because they were made fun of. You have to 
act like an ass and make fun of Myles' letter. Then you 
give him a lecture on how dumb he is. Pathetic. Then you 
go on and babble on about how tough your life is because 
you have to work and you have to support you family. I 
praise you for supporting your family, but when you 
criticize the stereotypical sports fan relaxes and 
watches football on Sunday and Monday night, while you 
work your ass off that pisses me off. Ok, so you have 
to work your ass off, but I know lots of sports fans 
with wives and kids with piss poor who do just the same,
 and do they criticize others who don't like sports and
 have lots of time? No. "You had to hunt to put food of
 the table". I wish you did not have to go through that.
 I really do, but I knew a lot of people who were in a 
worse situation than that, and did they blame anybody? Nope.

October 06 2002 letter. Sure athletes make a ton of money,
 so why should they be criticized because they make a ton
 more than everybody else. Musicians, movie stars... make
 tons of money why don't they get criticized? Ok, so your
 coach was a dick, but don't don't give me this; "I don't
 like sports because my coach was abusive crap". NOT ALL 
COACHES ARE LIKE THAT. You could have quit, talked to him,
 or simply could have kicked him in the nuts.

November 07, 2002 letter. You can only name one school that
 doesn't make money in athletics? How many high schools and
 colleges are there?

November 15, 2002 letter. Thank you realizing what sports
 is really all about.

November 16, 2002 letter by Don. "Let me get this straight
 -- we are constantly bombarded by sports -- live games, 
recorded games, in newspapers, magazines, bla, bla bla. 
Music is everywhere, movies are everywhere..., so what's 
your point?

The other November 16, 2002 letter. Thank you for making
 perfect sense.

November 19, 2002 letter. "But being addicted to WATCHING
 OTHERS play is as deviant as being a voyer. I cannot 
understand the attraction." What a dumb statement. That's
 like saying, "being addicted to T.V. shows where people 
act is as deviant as being a voyer". Duh. Then you say, 
"I admire you... unconditional, slobbering admiration for
 a bunch of guys you'll never meet and who wouldn't give 
you the time of day if you did happen to meet them". What
 crap. Hey Allen I'm not unconditional and I don't slobber,
 so where do you get the idea that all sports fans do. Then
 you go on to say their, "a bunch of guys you'll never meet
 and who wouldn't give you the time of day if you happen to
 meet them." So what. That's like saying why watch a T.V. 
show or go to a concert. How many of your favorite T.V., 
movie, or music stars have you met?

November 20, 2002 letter is just pointless

December 05, 2002 letter. Ray is obviously a sick pervert.
 "I love to hear women grunt". Grow up and quick acting 
like a 13 year old pervert. "If you like watching men in
 action, YOU must be gay!" I'm not gay, but so what if you
 are. If someone goes to see a action movie, would consider
 them gay? Get a life.

January 01, 2003 letter. Ok, the Cowboys fan is a moron 
for getting so suicidal when his team loses. "I've never
 understood how they choose WHICH team they will fall in
 love with in the first place?" Well it's very simple. 
Here's a few reasons.

1. They were born in the city or state where the team is 
located. Example: I was born in Wisconsin, so I root for 
all the teams that are from Wisconsin.

2. They live in their current city or state where the team
 is located. Example: I live big Atlanta, Ga., so I root 
for all the teams that are from Georgia.

3. The players on a team. Example: Derek Jeter, Roger Clemens,
 and Jason Iambi play for the major league baseball team, New
 York Yankees.

4. The players that used to be on the team. Example: Larry 
Bird, Bob Cousy, Bills Russell, John Havilicek played for the
 pro basketball team (N.B.A.), Boston Celtics.

5. The team wins a lot.

6. Uniform design or color.

7. The way the play the game.

January 27, 2003 letter. You hate sports because the funnest
 year of your high school days were when you did not play? 
You can't think of a better response than that?

January 29, 2003 letter. Point #4. BULLSHIT. Stop trying to
 back up the satatement.

February 03, 2003 letter by Ken. Does not deserve my time.

February 12, 2003 letter by Bill. "And they're all fucking 
brain-dead as far as I see". Why are they brain dead? You 
don't have a reason? PATHETIC CRAP

February 14, 2003 letter by Will. "Maybe I'm selfish". Great
 just what the kind of people the world needs more of. "In 
other areas, at work, I always credit whoever deserves it. 
I'm a team player there. Why doesn't this transfer to sports?"
 Why doesn't this transfer to sports? Well maybe that's because
 your WORK IS NOT CONSIDERED A SPORT. Team work is not only 
associated with sports. 

    I'm not even close to being finished. I'll give you a few
 of my reasons why I love sports.

 

1. I think the main reason why I like sports is not because
 I like physical action. I think it's because I like competition. 

 

2. I like watching people who have amazing physical ability,
 a pitcher like Randy Johnson throw a ball 100 m.p.h., Barry 
Sanders, making three people around him not be able to tackle
 him, or with three guys a hold of Barry Sanders' leg and 
watching him escape and keep running. A basketball player doing
 a 360 then with his back turned to the rim putting the ball 
under his leg and dunk it watch his back still facing to rim.
 Or a hockey player putting a puck between his legs, then 
putting it between another players leg and shooting it past
 the goalie for a goal. I would list about 100 more, but I 
want to move on.

 

3. I think it's great when a player or team is getting the 
crap kicked out of them. Then when everybody thinks the game
 is all over or the other team is going to beat the snot out
 of them, then that player or team finds enough confidence 
and belief that they can come back. It also points out that
 in life even if things are looking bad they can still get 
good, even if it seems impossible.

 

4. I like the fact there's a winner and a loser and it does 
not require a drastic sacrafice or some stupid prize. In war
 people die. Who wants to die? Sure men and women die for 
causes, which I give great admire to, but I don't want to 
hear about people dying. That's why don't watch the news, 
because there's always someone dying. Gee, that just makes
 my day to hear that.

 

5. Probably the biggest reason I watch sports is that it's 
so unpredictable and whatever you people may think it is 
not the same old thing over and over. You don't know what's 
going to happen. You could go to a basketball game and a team
 could lose by 50, then play the next day and the team who 
got beat does not have it's best player who played the day 
before, and the team could win by 50. In the 2002 N.F.L. season
 the St. Louis Rams were expected to go all the way to the 
Super Bowl after they lost it the year before. What happened?
 They lost there first 5 games and did not even makle the 
playoffs. Plus I like the fact that games don't get concelled
 if a player, coach, or referee is hurt. If a teams star 
player is injured and can't play in the Super Bowl the game
 is not delayed so the team can wait until he's healthy they
 say to bad. Now, if a member of a band cannot perform, what
 do they do? They say, "Sorry we can't play because our band
 member is unavailable". In 2002 the legendary and unseemable
 New York Yankees, who won 103 games played the Anaheim Angels,
 who won like 95 games in the first round of the playoffs. If 
you had said the Yankees would lose the series people who look
 at you if had your cock hanging out. What happened the Angels
 beat the Yankees 3 games to 1. I've seem the awesome heavy metal
 band, "Slayer" 4 times. I'll probably see them again when they
 come back to Atlanta for the 5th time, but I already know what
 songs there going to play. I think I've made my point perfectly clear. 

 

So take your head out of your pussies you worthless fucking 
maggots and get off your lazy asses. SLAYER RULES. 

 

Matthew


10/31/02 - Ray from Sports Suck! has altered the logo (on the propaganda page) so it doesn't include the "SS" below the fist. Trimester just brought it up because it has possibly fascist innuendo. Yeah. Mike, the quintessential propaganda-finder, emailed a humorous email, from SPORTS.COM! And, in true sports fashion, it objectifies women and promotes gambling and competition! Just plain corny also. Ah crap, I haven't had the chance to scan the sports quiz book sent to me by Jurgen. Well, here are some quotes from it:
"Q: Why was the quarterback arrested? A: He threw a bomb." Haha, sports players get legal impunity, but not this time! "Q: Which member of the football team got stopped for drunken driving? A: The tight end." This is too much - as if (amerikan) football players were actually persecuted by the po-po. From "Tom Tickle in a pickle": "Tom has arrived at the coach's locker but has forgotten the combination." At least the sports player didn't get lost! There is also a story about a disgruntled person who pokes holes in hot-air balloons at a yuppie balloon gathering and barbecue! "Snively Nogood, doer of dastardly deeds, has weaseled into town again - this time to let the air out of the Fifth Annual Barbertown Balloon-Race-Barbecue and Duck Roast. He has sabotaged one of the balloons with a small explosive..." Sounds like something an anti-yuppie vegan would do! From the inside cover: "Enjoy all Lee books... Ask your dealer!" ALL of this tually in the book. No joke, it's scary to see what kind of stuff they come up with. I tells ya, it's shameless, this sports biznass.

10/21/02 - Well, the newest member has already signed up the S.P.O.R.T.S. site for his Sports Suck webring! Just look at the webring links at the top of the page... thanks Ray! Go to www.sportssuck.org and see some great sports graphics and articles! Also, Jurgen has sent some sports-related propaganda to Trimester in the mail (media mail of course)... I wonder what it is. I wonder!

10/15/02 - Another comrade has been added to the S.P.O.R.T.S. team, I mean guerrilla army! Ray Parker is the name, and he could be the most important addition so far - just take a look at his website, like wha wha wha wha! www.sportssuck.org This is an entertaining site, complete with gender role critiques and just plain blind rage toward athletics! Trimester feels it may be a little extreme to abolish sports, but professional sports and overbearing jocks are a start, teehee. I salute you.

9/21/02 - Back again, after much too long of an elapsed period. Trimester would like to announce the addition of another comrade to our glorious and correct-minded S.P.O.R.T.S.! See the member list here and perhaps the general public will be inspired to despise the debilitating effects of organized sports on society. You better believe it! And a new sports camp image awaits, thanks to the all-playing Mike L. Thank you, and onward my siblings!

7/17/02 - So Trimester came across this article today. Don't call him a traitor (why would you, anyway? He's the controller of all thought, psshh) but it's a really interesting and inspiring article about the evolution of football (soccer for us yanks) and the footballers' struggle for free playing and against the consumerist, stadium-price, even royal domination of sports. After all, this site is against sports because of what sports have evolved into, not the actual sports themselves (especially not footie, now that Trimester thinks about it - you've gotta respect its history and shit). Expect this kind of opinion bogarting until someone seems to care about having a hand in this site - bwah hahahaha a! X. But anyway, expect a new welcome sound soon I guess maybe of course yes possibly? So farewell, until next time. By the way, Sports Paul was the first one to send an email to the Donkeybunch or Antisports email address with an on-topic message. He wrote, much like the message Trimester wrote on behalf of him a couple of months ago, "Sports and Religion are the root of all evil, and will lead to the destruction of the universe!" Right on.

7/2/02 - Trimester back again, checking it and wrecking it and let's begin. Uh, contrary to Peter's wishes (you know who you are), Trimester has put another antisports picture in the Propaganda section... actually, it's more of an anti-consumerism picture, but Trimester makes things work out in the end! But we still lose in the end. When we die from clogged arteries and such. Did you know that Trimester has low blood pressure? Yeah, well you could easily make him faint and by the time he wakes up, he would be in a world of sports. It's that easy. Come and get him! Hahahahahahaha you... Brazilian football squadron fanatic. We all know Jürgen is considering an end to his life after the tragic defeat of Deutschland in the FIFA MCDONALDS MONSANTO World Cup of $ports $ports $ports... so let's cheer him up by directing a huge solar explosion at Brasil! Yes, I agree. Farewell, comrades.

6/29/02 - Trimester brings good tidings from Jürgen (who sends good sports tidings from Germany). The aforementioned football hooligan has contributed the newest pictures to the S.P.O.R.T.S. album! Get ready for drunkenness and cultural genocide! Ein bier, ein brot, schule. Ich haufe.

6/15/02 - Crap monger, it's been a while. Welp, there's not much on here, Trimester's just informing you (anyone? echo...) of the newest Donkeybunch movie which, in fact, dealt with sports mania. And sarcastic humor, of course. Go to the site map on the DB page and you will see pictures from said movie. Goodbye, and good luck to Jürgen with his Deutsche sports abilities!!!

4/16/02 - Trimester just wanted to bring something to your attention - Paul P. sez: "Sports and religion are the root of all evil." (Or something like that). Mike L. states: "Sports promote unrequired violence and criminalize unorthodox behavior; sports only accept competitive ways of expressing self-worth, and children are obligated to conform CONFORM!!! to sports. Sports. Sports. That's enough." Salutations.

4/11/02 - Ah, university sports... see a picture that shows a lot of truth here; you can compare it with other propaganda here. By the way, I (Trimester) was thinking about communication (other than the sign-up form), andI think people could use the Donkeybunch forum for general and specific comments. Stay tuned for a new sports introduction sound.

4/8/02 - Please excuse the hiatus of no updates or anything (it seems like everyone likes sports, anyway, so nobody will notice!). Trimester (yours falsely) would just like to express his opinion on the recent riots in the wake of the University of Minnesota Hockey Squadron's all-important victory over some other Ice Puck Sports Squadron. This is what happens when sports are permitted to run amok among young people instead of wholesome things like television. To the rioters: what the fuck are you doing? A sports team is not a reason to riot. "Dude, I've been maced three times tonight!" (something like that was on the television news reporting program). You've embarrassed yourselves (even other sports fanatics) enough - if you're going to burn and destroy things, do it for the sake of something important. [Even though I don't like using news sources such as startribune.com, I think it is worth it to see what people will do for a sports team - see here.] (But I have to admit, I'm sort of in sympathy with them because of the damn police - I don't think it was necessary to subdue a sports hooligan.) Bye.

3/22/02 - Apparently, Barry Poter (Andy L.) is not a traitor and did not join the track team... but who cares about other people? Let's talk about me. I'll put a registration form on the website soon, the kind of registration form that signs you up for the glorious S.P.O.R.T.S. organization (The founding fathers - Jürgen and Trimester - will review them, of course). Well, I hope this has been fulfilling in your quest for knowledge. Until the next sporting event, sports!

3/15/02 - Well, during the no school day (listen to "Fuck School" by The Replacements) Trimester and Jürgen recorded an informative piece about the importance of sports. We also collected some pictures for the entrance page. We didn't make a movie, but we smashed a bike that cost one dollar and fifty cents. It is awaiting final punishment for supporting non-sports activity. Also, visit some links that will be of interest to all those decent enough to oppose a sports society. We are not the only ones who do not like sports, I can tell you that much. Health to you, sirs and/or madames.

3/13/02 - Open the sports bill. Also, a new pamphlet drawing regarding sports. Nevermind the bad drawing; the message is the key. Look for them around school before the muthafuckin' sports authorities take them down. Fuck the PO-lice, fuck the PO-lice.

3/8/02 - We have finished a rudimentary S.P.O.R.T.S. Propaganda [Truth] Page.

3/6/02 - This site should be updated when we know more about Jürgen's proposed S.P.O.R.T.S. organization (Students Political Organization Resisting Team Sports). Goodbye and PLAY SPORTS! as well as GET DRUNK AND SMOKE SOME CIGARETTES!
