So one of my coworkers tried to tell me that baseball isn't a sport....?

Question

Direct quotes:

"A-Rod isn't an athlete"

"David Ortiz and Jason Giami are fat. I can outrun them"

"Any game where you can eat hotdogs and smoke a cigar in the dugout isn't a sport"

"Baseball is a hobby, not a sport"

"They don't run around and all they have to do is hit a ball"

How ignorance has grown.....

Answer 1

have pity on the moron,hes probably a "wrasslin" fan,and yanks his meat to pics of hulk hogan.

Answer 2

haha i wouldnt talk about that if they got paid more money than me

Answer 3

True story.

Answer 4

this is for the ortiz and giambi one......you kno they are actually fast.....i play babe ruth league with the 90ft bases and one of our fastest players runs way slower then them so dont judge until u actually kno what your talkiing about.

Answer 5

Ignore these co-workers. They are obviously clueless and ignorant. Ignorance is a ramped disease with no cure in sight.

Answer 6

Thats why the get money to play baseball and your coworker can not out run Ortiz or Giambi

Answer 7

Ask him if Golf is a sport or better yet car racing.

I'd like to see him in a footrace with Giambi. He's a big dude, but he can outrun a non-professional athelete. Not to mention bench press this ignorant guy.

Wait..what you should do is bring up a page of their salaries and ask him if he makes that much? If he says no, then tell him to go be a non-athlete.

Answer 8

Exactly. I think either this person is extremely ignorant or just yanking your chain. Either way I weep for them.

Answer 9

The professional teams are a business... not a sport.

Answer 10

He sounds like a douchebag. The second statement, however, is probably quite true.... fat, lazy pieces of....

Maybe they are, but they're so egotistical that they don't even run  to first base when they hit a grounder. THAT I can judge. Lazy bassies....

Answer 11

All I can say is lol. What an idiot.

I agree, ignorance has grown. It's grown far too much, imo.

Answer 12

most likely they grew up loving baseball, but they sucked at the sport so they became bitter against the sport and now look like an ignorant idiot.

people should just leave their comments to their self

and yea, how could "hobby" become americas pastime?

baseball is def a sport and you have to be a complete athlete to be successful at the sport.

ask him/her to go ask the millions of people watch baseball every day, is it a hobby or sport?

Answer 13

Lmfao, that's some funny ####!

Didn't see a question so can't really answer it.

Answer 14

I am your co-worker, stop spreading my stupidity.
