Really?

I don’t enjoy watching rugby that much anymore. I gave up playing at the start of this year, probably a year or two after my enthusiasm for watching Super 14 (now 15) and Test Matches started to wane. I had thought, for the majority of this time, that is was very much an evolution of interest – I couldn’t maintain my enthusiasm because I never really loved it that much, and you naturally progress to different passions. Some people don’t, some passions remain (for me, race cars are still there), but all the same it’s not a stagnate process.

Having just read this article on a ‘Waratah Community Cabinet’ I can articulate the reason behind my declined interest more articulately – this is just such a joke. It’s a game. It’s grown to be too big for its boots (good pun hey). Sure, substantial amounts of money are involved but when you SUPPORT a side you have the option to CONTINUE to support them or STOP supporting them. They don’t own SHARE in this club that necessitate a return on their investment; they pay to watch them for entertainment, so if you’re no longer being entertained then why continue.

I’m going to write a letter to the paper on this. It’s a joke.
