Aftersport: Win or Lose, What an Experience it is Just to Play the Game
Emanuel Gomes asked:
We all know about professional players that have their pre-game rituals. Maybe kissing a lucky rabbit’s foot, rubbing the heads of teammates in the locker room before taking the field, or possibly even wearing an old pair of unwashed underwear from high school that never seemed to disappoint. Next we follow the game itself. Whether it is played out on a field, court, or rink the spectators experience the passion and excitement of the sport. Part of the excitement comes from seeing how close your favorite team or player comes to beating the opponent. Sometimes your favorite team wins and you couldn’t be happier. But sometimes we feel like our team was robbed a glorious victory. The undeserving winners completely ignore that they were only a second from not escaping defeat. Only after the last second is erased from the clock and the final buzzer sounds does the winning team feel secure enough to display an enormous grin across their faces to celebrate an irreversible win. Nothing could make us angrier than to see how happy those jerks are once they begin to gloat about their triumph over our team.
Which brings me to this. Once the game is over, what happens to the teams in the “W” column and the “L” column of the standings? I have already mentioned a little about the winners celebrating. And this is usually the side that most of us remember because it really isn’t difficult to speak about the game when you’re the winner. Winners have so much to talk about. They are more than generous to tell us how their flawless strategies, amazing talent, and strong desire to win would not be denied. How much God loves them so much yet somehow always neglects to bless the opposing team players during competition. They never seem to be able to find the locker rooms after the game either because it always takes a lot of time before they actually go inside. For the losing team, this isn’t the case.
The losing players have no problems pinpointing the locker rooms the second the game is over no matter if they were on one side of the field or on the bench. In fact, it is rare to see any losing players in sight longer than 2 minutes after the game finishes. But what do these players do after the game? Do any of the players talk to each other? Do they even look at each other? Maybe they argue over who is to blame? No matter the case, they have to eventually leave the locker room and go home with the disappointing loss.
In professional sports, we get to experience the games from the stands, bleachers, and the comfort of our couches because most of us aren’t professional sport players. But we don’t have to be professionals to know how it feels to play in an organized sport. We may not have the cameras and the thousands of fans but we know how it feels to play, win, and lose games. When we win, we leave our jerseys on for hours, celebrate with family and friends, and every joke we hear sounds a little bit funnier. When we lose, we make a beeline from the field to our cars, stopping for nothing or no one, keeping our mouths shut, eyes forward, until we get home. As far as we are concerned, the game is over and so is our night.
Once the game is over, our competitive mentality steadily fades away and aftersport begins. Aftersport is the sensation we get when we take off our smelly uniforms, dirty cleats, and put on our fresh clothes and comfortable slides. Aftersport is the feeling we get when we know that we gave all we got to that game only to start saving up for the next one. Aftersport is both the unbelievable ride of a win and the agonizing aches and pains of a defeat. Still, win or lose, we eventually anticipate our next game simply for the chance to experience the familiar sweet taste of victory.

I am wondering if there are any men who wish they had a smaller *****?
Razor asked:
I know some of you will think this is a joke, but I’m completely serious. I know someone who complains that his ***** is too large, much like a woman would complain if her ******* were too big. In the case of a woman, surgery could even be done to help reduce the size of the *******. I don’t believe this procedure exists for men.

My friend says having a “large one” definately hinders him, in things like sports, and basically limits his choice of underwear down to briefs — Boxers are out of the question.
He is also embarassed to be seen in the locker room, as it attracts unwanted attention. Any other guys out there?
