Sports are great in the sense that they're fun as hell. You're mind becomes lost in the game itself. The game becomes a reality for the time being. Sure, I realize this while playing baseball, but, it's still a lot of fun. After all, it is a game deep down.
Maybe this clip is taken out of context but it presents a very narrow-minded viewpoint on sports. If you really believe that sports provide no benefit to this life then I feel sorry for you. You have failed to experience the good that comes from athletic competition. Have you never felt inspired watching the Olympic games? Political differences set aside while the world comes together to celebrate hard work and good sportsmanship? You could put a negative spin on anything. Your choice.

Notice how American news channels like FOX also treat their audiences like little children.... the sad fact is that many FOX viewers are actually intellectually stunted and the equivalent of adolescents.

Ah i love the "you think you're a warrior for the weekend" lmfao it's so true. They think it's some sort of gladiatorial combat when it's nothing like it, not even remotely close. It has rules and an umpire and a bunch of wannabe's cheering/screaming like some sort of demented weirdo. All the while sucking down some sugar filled drink and eating hotdogs which if you read what a hotdog is, it's called "meat slurry" basically all the bits of the animal that ends up on the floor,its asshole's etc
What's the point of even watching sports? If a team wins or loses, will it affect you. I don't even understand how people can become so obsessed with sports. They make billions of dollars off of people who are just slaves to a cultural fad
@AugerDP said: "What's the point of even watching sports? If a team wins or loses, will it affect you."

It's so bizarre how you see people going crazy with happiness when their "fake tribe" wins, or going into like clinical depression when they lose, but there's absolutely no logical reason for such a response as it's entirely irrelevant to the viewer's actual life.
You could take everything this man said in regard to the word 'sports', and replace it with the word religion, which, btw - is far more dangerous than any sports that's ever existed. According to this fucking idiot, a child should rid themselves of anything sports and fun related - just because they have grown into an adult. What a narrow minded morbid idiot.
International sports help bring communities and nations together and does help moral. I do agree with Alan though, for the most part Sports keep us slaves entertained
I've never understood sports. Playing it can be fun and has benefits of health, but why bother to watch? So you can get together with your drinking buddies and comment on plays and players? What a waste. Some people are incapable of discussing something that isn't in front of their eyes.
I ALWAYS WONDERED WHAT THE POINT WAS WITH SPORTS>>>REALLY>!! IT's all nostalgia, you only like that team because your father, your city, your collage, or your friends like it...they are all hired by millionaires to play for their team...they are not even from that city or state they play for...very corporate. I don't know, maybe I'm just not American. I was born there but I don't feel connected to the sports.
No idea what Duke is talking about and everything in this video was senseless. Every single thing he said has a counter argument. It's entertainment and nothing more.
US congresswoman Cynthia McKinney has come out and blamed the pro-Israel Lobby in America (AIPAC, ADL, ZOA, etc) for ruining her political career. While in congress she refused to sign the pro-Israel pledge and took a pro-Palestinian stance. Because of this, McKinney said “war was declared” on her by the Jewish lobby. In 2009 she told TIU's Ognir that “more than 99% of Congress work for Pro Zionist Israeli interests.”

OH NO NOT SPORTS, TOO! IT'S ALL A SET UP, NWO MAN! ILLUMINATI! BLAH BLAH BLAH.. You people need to get a grip and just enjoy what you can while you still can.
Team sports and games are only for children really but they are also used to sort the sheep from the goats. When getting into university and getting onto the first rung of a career it helps to be good at team sports and those who played for their county get the best jobs. They say it's a mark of fitness but you can be fit without playing games. Funnily enough those who play team sports quit taking exercise earlier than those who don't and prefer cycling, boating and swimming.
@lemsip Are you sure? I thought everybody played sports(not just children)let alone go to the games and watched them! Their Favorite Teams & Players! Have you, yourself, ever been to a sports game?
Sigh.. the sports thing is true, but these guys always have to off the deep end and it ruins their own valid points that should be propagated to all Americans. So self-defeating and it's a shame.
what is wrong with living in your most viril time in your mind for a short time and then you are back to the grind of life.

I have only begun to watch Alan Watt. I have much experience w/ Alan Watts. I think there is much overlap (interesting, given their similar names) between their philosophies. A simple, short comparative description - Watt is more political/practical, Watts is more spiritual.
There's some true things here, especially about professional sports, but good clean fun is not something you grow out of. Don't take yourself so seriously, it will help you stay awake if anything.
I'm a college athlete but I have to agree with him. I enjoy sports for the competition. It keeps the primitive side in me that i long to preserve. But I am disgusted how sports are capitalized like they are today and I hate the fact that people become so obsessed with them that it take over their lives. I love sports. I love to play them but i hardly enjoy watching them. I love sports but I'm not obsessed with them. Once I'm done being an athlete, I will move on with my life.
@grapplingignorance i didnt mean to say idiot but its ok to watch it once and awhile but some people thats all they talk aboutand do.Your watching someone else live out their dream,instead of trying to create yours.I just have a strong opinion about television.I play sports i just dont watch them all that much iam more an athlete then a intellectual.
love this video, man their was 100,000 people in downtown in my city vancouver for the canucks.Your time has better uses,watching sports all the time is for the idiots.I would rather read :D
@pjacob2010 And who the hell gave you the authority to decide how other people should should spend their time? Because you would rather read than watch or engage in athletics, it makes anyone who does enjoy it "idiots?" By your logic, anyone who doesn't like reading could say there are better uses for your time- but it's just that YOUR time. As long as you're not harming other people that time is yours to spend how you choose, and the same is true for them. They aren't idiots for enjoying games.
How many of the Boston Red Sox are from Boston? None of them are really representing Boston as if they were ever raised there. They're just a bunch of overpaid people, most of which have developed certain narcissistic personality traits which actually make them bad for team play. There's really no loyalty. They'll play for whomever will pay them the most dollars. Isn't that the greatest show of poor sportsmanship?
@DukeStarbuckle I agree ,most athletes are narcissistic overpaid ,entitled,protected,snobs. It,s time people started to shun these qualities instead of glorifying them.
@MrTopjimmy67 What the hell are you talking about? A lot of athletes come from middle class or even poor families. They practice 6 to 8 hours a day because they're determined to be successful in their sport. Those are great qualities to have. And you can't just assume that anyone who is overpaid is narcissistic or snobbish. Looking down on people just for being wealthy is just inverted snobbery. Which is just as superficial and ridiculous as the other kind.
I've honestly never found the appeal in spectating a sporting event. I don't care for playing in sports either, but I think that's because people get way to competitive and it takes out the fun (for me at least).
Modern leisure activities, and sports in particular, are socially significant because they provide some of the relatively few opportunities for a ‘controlled de-controlling of emotional controls’ in contemporary societies (Elias and Dunning, 1986: 96).
I think most people who take issue with sports and athletes in general are: a) jealous, b) artsy fartsy, c) lost their woman or man to an athlete or d) all of the above.
@kinakem i agree, watts talk a good talk but he needs to strike a better balacne between exposing manipulation and just being downright cynical an negative.
So we don't think we can be fooled and manipulated? Well, I wonder just how many know that the World's Sporting industry is totally dominated by, Nike; Reebok; Puma; Adidas and Umbro which are ALL Owned by three Jews? They ALL have their clothing and shoes made in sweatshop conditions in China and cheap-labour countries, ship them back to "US;" for a small fortune! And WE BUY IT! They also own ALL the major designer labels! Read: wake-upbeforeitstoolate(dot)com and see how far this deceit goes!
@einrib4truth and becos of corpos like these America is fucked, they take all the work and get it done on the cheap in china etc, leaving Us citizens shorts on jobs and home produced markets, yet still charging the same high prices.
@Dustinhogard - I have only begun to watch Alan Watt. I have much experience w/ Alan Watts. I think there is much overlap (interesting, given their similar names) between their philosophies. A simple, short comparative description - Watt is more political/practical, Watts is more spiritual.
theres been sports around since the beginning of time. long before TV. this is bullshit. sports keep us competitive and strong and fit. Nowadays TV and everything on it Is used to keep us sedate and brainwashed, sports have become part of this but they in their own right are not a bad thing.
@fugyoutoo You make an excellent point. People who are athletic will enjoy physical contest and will always like playing/watching sports be it at a local park pickup game or a game with very good athletes i.e. pros. They always have and they always will. The only catch is that "in their own right" is not how sports are delivered. They are over-commercialized packages and that is what I believe Mr. Watt takes issue with. And I absolutely agree on his analysis. "Pro sports" is a device.
Anybody hear that the NBA Basketball is canceled because of their lockout? They canceled the first two weeks of this season and they'll probably go into Xmas with this lockout.
description says your link leads to Alana WattS but then the link goes to Alan watt (no S) website. you ought to change your description in this video right on top of the link
@joemoe23 Why do you have to talk shit about Alan Watts? Based on the Tom Campbell video on your Youtube page, you seem to be someone who would love Alan Watts and his Philosophical Lectures. You can't even compare the two Alans, they're on two completely different Topics. I would say they are both Equally Important. Watt talks about the Government and how our Social Engineers psychologically control us and Watts talks about even deeper subjects, like the meaning of life, and the Big picture...
there would be absolutely nothing wrong with sports legitamately other than the fact athletes get paid so much.if this world wasnt so corrupt. if there was equality sports would still be around, and it would be in a much better situation
@Obinome It's a massive destraction. I will say that at a grass roots level it is fine. But you can tell that it is more of a child and teen activity because you don't really see adults partaking in it outside of company hired men commonly reffered to as professional sports. It is natural but like everything they play on our instincts and hyperinflate a common activity like sports and now we aren't concerned with what is going on in our actual life or society.
Fanatical plans are plots, as are conspiracies, with confederates & culprits whose actions are capricious. Of what does anything depend? Which door is not hinged on lynch pins? You can't gauge the reason, nor the genius, in things genuine as these curios are encased in the terror & evolvement of a fine-top salt grass that is a perennial drop-seed grass, with open panicles, that clumps densely.
Mr Watts says that we all want to be a part of a group; I don't, and I never will. I am a free thinker who tries his best to find as much information as possible. Being a free thinker is a lonely road to take though.
@dave19711998 You're in DEEP denial. EVERYONE wants to be part of a group. You're assuming being a part of a group is a negative thing and being a free thinker is positive, that both ideas cannot coexist but they can and do. Free thinkers also have to be bright, bright enough to understand that we are human and want to be accepted. By commenting alone, you became a part of this Youtube page. Independent thinking does not equate to a "lonely road". Stop thinking in black and white.
@votumseparatum1 That may have been true in the past but not now. I don't believe that I am in denial, as the need to be accepted has lessoned over the years. Being a free thinker or being part of a group isn't black or white, but a varying grey area. From my experiences of groups, a common consensus has to be dictated and anyone who differs from the rules will eventually be sidelined.
@HornetUK1 Sports were once a method to build strength, stamina, and group cohesion among current or potential members of a nation's army before battle. Now they're merely a substitute and a marketing exercise.
@kjchicago1 Taking part in sport is fine, i use to like playing football and still play a bit of badminton, but getting excited at watching extremely rich people kick a ball about a field for a made up team clad in corporate advertisements is not my idea fun, i've got a million other things i'd rather be doing.
A bunch of men running about on a field is trivial and unimportant in comparison to real issues. The banksters who are looting countries want you to be distracted by hotdogs and Michael Jordon.
@JohnPurchaseArt real issues, love family life oneself health, sport is a stimulation of mind body and soul, if politics effects you, your own life is less of importance, you control you own life and your own reality not bankers.
@messiiironaldo you're kidding right? bankers control the money of the world. you use money and thats what this system is based on. without it, you can't survive. and when they take it away what would you do then? wave a wand to have it magically appear in your life again? it doesn't work that way. we control our own reality to an extent. that's when you realize we're slaves.
@YourOasis97 I think you and messiiironaldo seem to on the right track, but you keep missing the point. Money is useless, only resources are of use. Money is a stack of paper, with faces on it. You can't eat it, build a computer out of it, nothing. Taking money away doesn't take away jobs, but in fact employs everyone. We would all be creating resources for each other. But taking away money does get rid of banks.
@detroithaspotential yeah well tell that to the bankers. i wish it didn't exist but unfortunately its the only means to live on these days. what i was trying to highlight is that this system depends on it and without money people can't survive unless you live in a tribe in the Amazon and know how to hunt, grow food, etc. I was highlighting how this system is flawed and we're dependent on it which is the whole point. We can't just take money away, cos it'd be devastating for all. we'd have to
@YourOasis97 Yeah, we should tell that to the bankers. We should all give them back this money and start doing business with each other. The venus project is an example of this, and banks want you to believe that you need them. All we have to do is stand together, and work with each other. Until then, we are slaves to ourselves.
@detroithaspotential yeah well tell that to the bankers. i wish it didn't exist but unfortunately its the only means to live on these days. what i was trying to highlight is that this system depends on it and without money people can't survive unless you live in a tribe in the Amazon and know how to hunt, grow food, etc. I was highlighting how this system is flawed and we're dependent on it which is the whole point.

yeah, I used to watch the nba like crazy, and as time goes on, my mind has just kind of outgrew it, I'll watch, but I'm no longer "mesmerized" as I used to be
@IconsOfTeleplay the most rewarding thing about darwin is reading about his own personal doubts about evolution. He knew he was locked in to the theory and it was his life, but he himself saw that no physical proof existed, no missing links, funny how evolutionists forget or don't know that
@hollowmenrule : Negative eugenics was a family thing for the Darwins :
[INTERNET: In 1912, the First International Congress of Eugenics was held at the University of London. The president of the Congress was Major Leonard Darwin, son of Charles Darwin and one of the first English vice presidents was Sir Winston Churchill, later Prime Minister of England.]
There is no evidence Darwin shared Galton’s views on eugenics, and it would be contrary to what Darwin wrote in Voyage of the Beagle all the way through to Descent of Man, not to mention completely contrary to Darwin’s own actions through his entire life. Darwin himself insisted that social policy should not simply be guided by concepts of struggle and selection in nature. To state such indicates you're a creationist, because thats a straw man they regularly trot out.
@TheAccidentalMonk : "...We civilised men, on the other hand, do our utmost to check the process of elimination; we build asylums for the imbecile, the maimed, and the sick; we institute poor-laws; and our medical men exert their utmost skill to save the life of every one to the last moment...Thus the weak members of civilised societies propagate their kind... [Charles Darwin: "The Descent of Man," 1871 ed. vol. I, p. 168]
[INTERNET: In 1912, the First International Congress of Eugenics was held at the University of London. The president of the Congress was Major Leonard Darwin, son of Charles Darwin and one of the first English vice presidents was Sir Winston Churchill, later Prime Minister of England.]
Since when is Leonard Darwin Charles Darwin? Just because various of his relations fell for the crock of crap that is eugenics, doesn't mean Charles did.
@electronicchronic who cares when the world is enslaved. sports are for "kids" not retard dumb sheep business men to play "weekend warrior hero" "pro sports" do nothing but keep people eating applebee's and sediation on media at games. retards
sports are good for exercise, teamwork, strategy, etc. - but an inordinate love of them - ie. having them take priority over God is wrong; sports is a starting point that can help teach boys and men to battle the real game of life - good vs evil
Sports are great in the sense that they're fun as hell. You're mind becomes lost in the game itself. The game becomes a reality for the time being. Sure, I realize this while playing baseball, but, it's still a lot of fun. After all, it is a game deep down.

I'm a college athlete but I have to agree with him. I enjoy sports for the competition. It keeps the primitive side in me that i long to preserve. But I am disgusted how sports are capitalized like they are today and I hate the fact that people become so obsessed with them that it take over their lives. I love sports. I love to play them but i hardly enjoy watching them. I love sports but I'm not obsessed with them. Once I'm done being an athlete, I will move on with my life.

By your logic, anyone who doesn't like reading could say there are better uses for your time- but it's just that YOUR time. As long as you're not harming other people that time is yours to spend how you choose, and the same is true for them. They aren't idiots for enjoying games.

How many of the Boston Red Sox are from Boston? None of them are really representing Boston as if they were ever raised there. They're just a bunch of overpaid people, most of which have developed certain narcissistic personality traits which actually make them bad for team play. There's really no loyalty. They'll play for whomever will pay them the most dollars. Isn't that the greatest show of poor sportsmanship?

@DukeStarbuckle I agree ,most athletes are narcissistic overpaid ,entitled,protected,snobs. It,s time people started to shun these qualities instead of glorifying them.
MrTopjimmy67 1 month ago 2
@MrTopjimmy67 What the hell are you talking about? A lot of athletes come from middle class or even poor families. They practice 6 to 8 hours a day because they're determined to be successful in their sport. Those are great qualities to have. And you can't just assume that anyone who is overpaid is narcissistic or snobbish. Looking down on people just for being wealthy is just inverted snobbery. Which is just as superficial and ridiculous as the other kind.

@fugyoutoo You make an excellent point. People who are athletic will enjoy physical contest and will always like playing/watching sports be it at a local park pickup game or a game with very good athletes i.e. pros. They always have and they always will. The only catch is that "in their own right" is not how sports are delivered. They are over-commercialized packages and that is what I believe Mr. Watt takes issue with. And I absolutely agree on his analysis. "Pro sports" is a device.

Free thinkers also have to be bright, bright enough to understand that we are human and want to be accepted. By commenting alone, you became a part of this Youtube page.

@votumseparatum1 That may have been true in the past but not now. I don't believe that I am in denial, as the need to be accepted has lessoned over the years. Being a free thinker or being part of a group isn't black or white, but a varying grey area. From my experiences of groups, a common consensus has to be dictated and anyone who differs from the rules will eventually be sidelined.

There is no evidence Darwin shared Galton’s views on eugenics, and it would be contrary to what Darwin wrote in Voyage of the Beagle all the way through to Descent of Man, not to mention completely contrary to Darwin’s own actions through his entire life. Darwin himself insisted that social policy should not simply be guided by concepts of struggle and selection in nature. To state such indicates you're a creationist, because thats a straw man they regularly trot out.
