Overzealous Hobby

It has come to my attention that certain folks, mostly concentrated in the Southern United States, have attempted to portray their hobby as a sport. Ladies and Gentlemen, NASCAR is not a sport. It is a hobby at most. If I want to do a physical activity, jumping in my car and driving around in a circle does not make the list. People, its about time we realized that going around circles fast while riding in a loud machine is not a sport. That is not to say NASCAR does not serve a purpose. An activity sure to spark overzealous behavior is to jump into a NASCAR chatroom and to begin chatting. I have found that naming random drivers and saying they suck or rule will inspire some great reponses. Consider this exchange:

Disco: NASCAR IS NOT A SPORT
catgurl: then why are u here
Disco: to let you know
Disco: why do you think it is a sport? convince me
catgurl: u try drivin a race car then
catgurl: they have to be in good shape to withstand the distance, heat etc
Disco: oh yes going in circles is hard
Disco: they have air conditioned suits
Disco: it is more of a hobby

and with that catgurl left... :(

And there you have an overzealous activity you can all participate in, harrassing people in NASCAR chatrooms.

  1. You know I'm obligated to beat your hide for this post.

    And we both know you're not fit to drive those cars. None of us are.
