Netball, the devils sport ...

All that is wrong with our world, can be summed up
in one word. Netball. Apparently its one of the most
particpated sports in Australia. Popularity doesnt
generally equate to something being good. In fact
the majority of people voted Liberal...

What netball does, is it takes "sport" , a healthy
fun activity and turns it into this evil spirit
crushing chore. The idea of sport, generaally is to
get exercise, enjoy yourself and compete against someone.
The best sports are fundamentally simple, and the rules
are second nature to what your suppose to do. Like in
soccer you cant pick up the ball, thats called "hand ball".
Cricket is a bit more complicated but everything is intuitive,
and perhaps thats the key word, nothing in netball is
intuitive. Everything you should do is not allowed,
everything you are supposed to do is exactly the opposite
of what you want to do. If you want to bounce the ball,
your suppose to pick it up, if you want to run, your suppose
to stop and when you want to use your right arm someone
tells you your suppose to use the other arm. Dont use the
arem closest to the ball use the other one, and reach in
some akward bizzare manner. And if someone is flying through
the air , make sure they have a small helicopter pad to land
on, and preferably give them some flowers on arrival. Im
surprise netball isnt under water.

The problem with society is rules, everything is rules, dont
do this dont do that, when smoking you need to be 1m from the
bar. I dont even smoke and that seems bizzare, either no
smoking or there is smoking. Not, you can smoke if your 1m
from the bar if your german and are smoking with your left hand,
and 2m from the bar if your indian and your smoking it out of
your arse. If people cant see it, then what is basically happening
is the people who made the ridiculous rules for netball are
coming up with rules in our general society today. It is killing
our free spirit, the next time you try and do something you'll
find you cant. A sport should find a natural equilibrium, just
like in life, you can't over govern.

So the next time you play netball take 2 steps, bounce the ball,
and use whatever arm you want to, to intercept the ball. Take
a stand !
Coz i can imagine if there is hell, then thats the sport they'll
be playing deep in the fiery furnace near the earths core., and
there will be the sounds of endless whistles,
and umpires saying dont do this, dont do that and what ever you
do , dont have fun!
