Kobe just scored.

Let me guess, there isn’t even a game right now, but Kobe still scored. No, no. Please. Don’t question this. Kobe did score, hold up, is “scored” the right word? Or is that more football-ish? Or should I say futbol-ish?

Ladies and gentlemen, my fellow brainwashed human beings,

NBA: A company.

Staples Center: Money money money.

The biggest businesses are right in front of you. Is it weird that Los Angeles has the most famous teams in sports? Galaxy, Dodgers, Lakers, and what so ever? Yes, in fact, it is. The Los Angeles Lakers, one of the biggest names you see, with the purple and yellow “pride” thrown left and right. Let me tell you something about that, when your car shows the purple and yellow, and your shoes do too, it’s called free advertising. Actually, no. Not really. You’re actually PAYING them to advertise for them. That’s for one.

Second, millions, if not billions, of dollars are put in into this industry. When you have that much money float around, you won’t be joking around. If I put 500 million dollars on a sport, I will fake the games. Let’s think this through. The more and longer we drag our viewers, the more “views” we’re going to have, the more “audience” we’re going to have, the more “advertisement” we’re going to show, the more “products” we’re going to sell, and the more “pride” we’re going to build in our audience. And if that wasn’t enough, the more lives we’re going to ruin.

You have the option of booking “fully sold out” 3 games, 5 games, or even 7 games. They all can have the same outcome, but guess what, each game has SHIT LOAD of more tickets to be sold. SHIT LOAD of emotion to be attached as it gets closer to an end.

Selling you their shoes. Selling you their jerseys. Sucking up your time out of your hands? No. I don’t agree with that part. I actually believe that YOU’RE GIVING OUT YOUR LIFE to them, with will. Wake up. If you like watching a game, do it, it’s no different than a soap opera. But when people kill each other for this, with all the “pride” that goes around that, I apologize for saying this but that’s bullshit.

I mean no hate on the sport. I mean no hate on these billion dollar brainwashers. I only feel guilt watching you suffer and throw up money and feel obligated to inform you. Be careful. Again, I did not say stop watching. Do it right. Watch your self as well, you’re too young to let a guy jumping with a ball make your week.
