So, some moneybody said,
“How about we
Pay more for ’em,
Set no limits,
Pay ’em more;
Give ’em much more
Than an hour an’ a bit
Of a Saturday afternoon?
Put the celebrity shine on
Lads who once were welders,
Scoring for chicken ‘n beans?
Pay someone to fashion their hair,
Their gear, their pounds;
Move ’em from
The back to the front?
Have someone choose
Their rivals, their causes,
Their diets, the models
They roll, their opinions?
“What say, we give it a try –
What’s the worst that can happen?-
See what goes on in the world
That, in former, more erstwhile,
Innocent times, we called sport.”

How sadly true.
Glad to have gotten it off my chest.
Rant over!
Feeling better, but who’d be a Walsall supporter?
Reblogged this on Trials and Trails: life and times of a Walsall fan.
