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.

First of all, let me clarify something. Football is football. There’s no sport called “soccer”. Football is football. The sport is played by foot, thus the name.
Okay, now I get to express some more feelings. I’ve noticed that around this time every 4 years, everyone around me becomes a World Cup fan and a football watcher. No. I will burst your bubble. You’re not.
If you don’t watch “soccer”, you don’t deserve to be the commentator of the FIFA World Cup series. Period.

Please don’t argue and discuss football history if you are one of those people. If you watched the World Cup last time, and 2002, and 1998, and as far as you could remember, that doesn’t make you a football expert, nor a fan. That makes you a bandwagon. Yes. That term doesn’t only work with switching towards winning teams, but also switching towards popular sports at the time.

Now that I let these feelings out, I can get to talk about the games and the teams.
Brazil fans, where you at ? =)
England, Spain, Germany, Italy, and all of these amazing teams we’ve been so used to, but what can I say, these teams switched up every 4 years, and you have these big teams leaving early, and me having to explain to my high school teachers why I missed specific days for these games. Let’s not talk about that now, though.

College, this is going to be tough, but I choose the World Cup over you. Yes, I did say that, professor.
Fellas, and a few ladies, let’s do this. Count down time:
