Breaking news yesterday about how heart stints basically don't work with exception to emergency situations. The bad thing was that the "solution" was more drug therapy! LA News only briefly mentioned "life style" changes as "part" of the solution--how about nearly ALL of the solution! A bowl of daily oatmeal and a walk can go a long ways! My God--we are a country of absolute idiots! Millions being spent on stents when getting off your fat ass and eating some natural foods would be the real fix...Americans cease to amaze me...in their quest for the "easy way," they make it the hard way. Hell, it is easier to hit the gym and eat well everyday--get a clue!
Yet another pro "athlete" (and I hate to really call these kind of jerks athletes) is in legal troubles from being a thug. Pacman Jones--NO relation!, is now in trouble over the Vegas shootings that injured three people. They flashed his arrest record last night--it's shameful! It seems like every week some dumb-assed pro jock is being arrested or shooting someone. What bullshit! Millions of dollars in salary, and they are still gangsta thugs. To me, being a true "athlete" is a position of honor in the Greek sense. You strive for excellence at all times--the Greeks called this Arete'. These guys are role models for millions of kids--they don't give a damn about anything but their now narcissistic wants--classic examples of hubris which is "perverted pride." They are shameful. I wouldn't walk across the street to talk to one of these idiots. The NFL and other sanctioning organizations need to start banning their lame asses. I for one have chosen to not spend my money supporting their behaviors. It's not okay. People should speak out and FORCE these kind of people completely out of the game. Pro sports are there to make money--that is their model objective, so if people stop "buying" into these thugs and their destructive and negative behaviors, then maybe the organizations would listen. Ragin' RJ!
