When I was traveling to Zamboanga City last week ends, I was able to seat with a very talkative person. I wasn't really able to know him better and wasn't even interested listening to what he was talking since I was dead tired from waking up as early as 2am to catch up the first trip bus from Ozamis City to Pagadian City. Anyways he still insisted on conversing even thou I wasn't in the mode, a little sarcastic there, hehehe.
He started the conversation with corruption in the government, then he pointed out that the main cause of this problem is BASKETBALL!!
I was surprise because I myself love the game and then he explains why it become the main cause of evil in our government.
1. Steal, basketball encourage players to do such act in order to win. True, because the best way for a team to win is to steal the other teams ball to gain points against the opponent. Stealing is corruption, and what is inculcated in the minds of the audience is that its okay to steal if they want to win in any game and life is a game itself.2. Fake, basketball players needs to do this act in order for them to fool others players thus preventing a probable block from the opponent. True as well. People wants to fake everything from ID's to public documents to prevent other people to know the truth and etc. Isn't this what corrupt people do?
3. Grab, players have to grab a ball to steal. Grabbing somebodies property for your own pleasure is unacceptable morality. Can be referred to as stealing, snatching and corruption.
4. Foul, encouraging players to commit such act in order to stop another players drive to score points, to kill time of one team, among others. Utterly true again. A person will foul anybody in order to make advances to whatever things he or she wants to achieve, will that be called envious and that we should support each other rather than committing atrocities to others in order to win?
5. Finally, rejoicing to others defeat. Evil kanivel. Will this promotes peace or hatred?
This topic is an eye opener for me, that's why I want to share this with you all.
What do you think? Is Basketball Evil? I'd like to know your thoughts?
