Lazy Professional Athletes??

Posted by Sean on July 30, 2010

So you are a ‘professional’. A ‘professional’ athlete. You are PAID for your athletic abilities. Your OCCUPATION is to PLAY a game.
Yet, you can’t pass a basic conditioning test? A test all of your equal can do and probably surpass.
Athletics in general and the very meaning of the word ‘game’ suggest a competition or at the very least the will to compete.
Hmm..
What if a regular blue-collared worker could not ‘pass’ a basic entrance test that all co-workers were able to complete?
Would the regular Joe be fired?? Or would he get multiple chances????
GRR.
This is what is wrong with our society today. Spoiled grown ups.
You are getting PAYED to PLAY a game! And you’re getting paid A LOT of money to do that. You make more money in one month, than most of us blue-collared workers make in a year, or 5 years or sometimes a life time!
