ATTENDANCE

The reasons why I’m giving up sports; football in the fall, baseball in the summer, basketball in the winter.  I’ve had it all.  I quit attending sports once and for all, and here are my 11 excuses.

1.   Every time I went, they asked for money.

2.   The people I sat next to didn’t seem friendly.

3.   The seats were too hard and not comfortable at all.

4.   I went to many games but the coach never came to call on me.

5.   The referees made decisions that I couldn’t agree with.

6.   The game went into overtime and I was late getting home.

7.   The band played numbers I’d never heard before and it wasn’t my style of music.

8.   It seems the games are always scheduled when I want to do other things.

9.   I suspect that I was sitting next to some hypocrites.  They came to see their friends and they talked during the whole game.

10.   I was taken to too many games by my parents when I was growing up.

11.   I hate to wait in the traffic jam in the parking lot after the game.

              (Editors note: I think that we have heard some of these reasons before.)
