Re: An answer for Fortaz......
this is a very, very telling post...
these players, all of them, are treated much more like objects than they are humans...its almost like theyre not real human beings ... they have no real personal connection to us....theyre members of our team...and we want our team to win...cause winning provides us with pleasure...and losing provides us with pain.....
sometimes it appears theyre nothing more than very expensive whores-strictly here for our pleasure and enjoyment...and by the reactions of many-an overpriced whore that provided them with little or no satisfaction whatsoever....
if u have that opportunity as u did....its amazing how ur perspective can change...once these objects are realized as actual real human beings...it changes things....it makes it real life drama instead of surreal entertainment....and these players are just living life and dealing with all its challenges just like we are....theyre not immune to problems just because they play basketball for a living or make more money than most....
in many cases they have a whole set of different problems...ones that partially exist because there might have been those along the way that tried to exploit them , once again treating them as an object and a means to an end instead of a real human being....
i often wonder, when discussing ron, if he were a family member how people would respond....but until u actually have that physical connection its very difficult to fully appreciate things for what they really are....
as long as we keep treating them like high priced hookers whose only purpose is our enjoyment, we will probably always feel like we never get our moneys worth....only when we realize theyre human beings just like us, with problems similar to us, will we ever truly be able to appreciate all the enjoyment that they can provide...
