2. Sports Analogies Have Seeped Into Our Political Life!

Yes, sports analogies have seeped into our political life. The use of words like: "game", "team", "game plan" and the sports like reporting of Steve Karnake on MSNBC about the midterm elections drives me crazy. Politics and War and Conflicts are serious business, not entertainment and the sports vocabulary puts these deadly serious events, where so much is at stake, into the realm of sports entertainment. Old guys like this are seriously into armchair sports. Since there has not been a land war on US soil, too many view the turmoil in other lands as a form of excitement much like sports. Just stop it! Those others overseas are real people just like us!
