I am in the midst of a search for investor’s to help me create a new television network whose primary focus will be on the so called “sport” of gambling. I am sick and tired of this evil, immoral, and addictive disease, loosely termed “gambling”, infiltrating my television sports viewing. In “the old days”, as far back as 2003, we could watch hours upon hours of truly competitive and sometimes amazing feats being tasked in the name of “sport”. At one point, we even had no less than 4 nationwide networks and numerous affiliates devoted entirely to these athletic demonstrations. Sport can be defined as “Physical activity that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often engaged in competitively.” It is the level of physical activity and exertion required to participate in such “sport” as gambling that I question. I seriously doubt when the Greeks first began the Pan-Hellenic festival in ancient Greece consisting of athletic games and contests , first celebrated in 776 B.C. and held on the plain of Olympia in honor of the Olympian Zeus, that they anticipated the term athletic or sport being defiled and desecrated to the point that it included a competitive event nearly devoid of all athletic abilities. While I don’t question the inherent neural capabilities required to competitively participate in such “intellectual” feats, such as Chess, Poker, and Backgammon, I do note that the primary ability necessary to compete is that more of an intellectual capacity than that of an athletic ability. Therefore, being that gambling is a feat more comprised of intellect and good fortune or luck, I propose that we remove all such events from our television networks that celebrate the feats and events that are competitive and truly athletic, and as such, considered to be truly worthy of the term “sport(s)”.
In the year of the Dog, I wish to create a network solely dedicated to those feats which can not be classified as Sport through athleticism, but is considered to be an intellectual and competitive feat. A network for gambling addicted neural geeks if you will. The purpose of this network is two-fold. The first benefit this network will provide to the public is that we can finally put to rest this quagmire and political rhetoric as to which is “sport”. If it is on one of the other traditional “Sports” networks it must be sports. If it is on our network, it must be gambling. The second benefit to the public, and probably more significant from a traditional stance on socialist poised health and insurance issues, is that there would be one network that all neural geeks, termed “gamblers”, would be focusing their viewing pleasure. Thus allowing those in society who know best for others to concentrate on one entity and one group. This would allow more efficiency in the effort to stamp out such immoral activities and to “help” those who suffer from the disease of gambling. While, this may promote more government mistrust, I believe that it is in fact in the best interest of society and therefore, in effort to continue our move towards socialism, I am willing to do my part in society.
While I have just begun my search for investor’s, I do hope that you can join me in the awesome opportunity to break through the quagmire and political unrest we face today in Sports.
It is my hope that with this constitution and your help, the new gambling network known as WaGiN, or the World Gambling Network, will become a reality.
PS. As well, we may be able to get boxing on our new network.
Obviously, boxing does not follow any known set of rules and is generally fixed. Therefore, without the necessary elements to be considered Sport, it is likely that we can persuade the WBA, WBF, WBC, WBO, WBU, AIBA, IBA, IBF, IBC, IBO, IBF, and whatever other self-proclaimed boxing authority, to broadcast their entertainment on our network.
Next week…..we will focus on a steroid network. Perhaps, our favorite drug manufacturers would give us bulk steroid discounts….what a great way to fund the network. Perhaps, the MLB player’s union could run our annual pledge fund.
