Show 4 WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, THE SUN ( E Champs and Chumps DITHERED TWiTS "Hey, I by Sian Waling aren't you that Ralphie dude use to pick on in high school?" Buy one Rethinking the world of sports ... Champs: Reed Richards and Mark Shurtleff, both of the attorney general By Daniel Van Weerd Reporter Sports suck. Only the select few who play a particular sport enjoy it. For everyone else who doesn't play that sport, it has no meaning to them whatsoever. With the unlikely chance that the event does have a the meaning itself lacks meaning to the any value. Now, why would anyone dare say that sports suck, especially a person who participates in many sports himself? Basically because people have better things to do than hang around a sporting event that means nothing to them. So, why doesn't every one join a sport? Well, it still leaves the situation of a select few enjoying a particular sport, leaving everyone else with a dirty thumb. So, what do we do with this problem? We need to rename fun, every day activities, and call them sports. First, find an activity that we all relate to, call it a sport, and all of a sudden, there is a event that is worth attending. If not to participate in, then to at least watch with new friends. Every thing would be solved this way. The jocks could still play King of the Mountain, the cheerleaders could still root the event on, and the fans could still comment on style, speed, accuracy. Now, with a solution in sight, a plethora of questions arise. Does every one have time? What if everyone isn't the carbon copy of everyone else that they seem to be? What if the event is perfect except that it turns out to ban nothing but Tommy Hillfinger? What if the event is something dirty that everyone loves, but wont admit? Why should there be only one event? Let me know, slackers. This is an opinion. The readers are supposed to bash and praise the writer. Drop a line via candidates were accommodating to The Sun in our request for an interview. Especially Richards who fit us in the place that he could on his itinerary: late Monday night. Its a thnll to be able to interview men competing for such a high office, but more importantly, it gives the students at Dixie College an idea about the different candidates and what they believe. Champs: the maintenance staff. Zooming past us on their golf carts, usually means that they are off to try to solve another crisis. Its a thankless job, but we just wanted to take a minute to thank the people who perform it.
