Ok. So now I know what to blog about=)
As I was sitting in my algebra class just a brief moment ago, a guy in my class (who just so happens to be on the A State football team) was talking very loud, as he normally does, about more funding for the football team. He was arguing with two other guys how they need new jerseys. How it is ridiculous that they have Adidas products, "what are we, in high school?!" this angered me. Is that wrong that it bothered me? In high school I too wanted better equipment for our basketball team, but it was all out of vanity. Not because it would improve our playing abilities. But now my world view has changed quite a bit and and I feel money spent on meaningless things is stupid when there are children starving.
So I asked him, "would new jerseys make you guys win ball games?" which the guys he was having a convo with found extremely funny. But honestly, if it is only for looks sake should our university spend money on it? Since they have scholarships and don't have to pay for their college should football players be expected to buy new jerseys if they want them so badly? The guy proceeded to answer my question"welll ummmm they are so big. If we had smaller tighter jerseys it might make us faster." Really? Seriously? Grrr what is wrong with our world. if we all lived with in our means and looked out for one another there would be less poverty. right? any ways that's whats on my mind=)
