Athletes complaining during matches

You can't help but wondering for years and  years footballers and basketballers and many other sports specially in professional leagues are in constant disagreement with the referees and not once you will ever see that the calls are reversed. It seemed though that this has become a trendy thing to do and more so in high caliber players. On the top of that, there are constant acting and flopping that goes on. It is as the athletes nowadays have no pride in wanting to win fair and square, rather they go through what ever it takes to cheat and be unfair but win a match. This to me is far from the spirit of being an athlete and more of a cunning job.

The recent 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil is the best example of these cheap and very demeaning in a world stage. I was watching the France and Switzerland match and one of the players was pointing at something when it accidentally hit (very softly) the Swiss player where he threw himself on the ground and holds his his head as if he was hit by a truck. All that for either getting a free kick or trick the referee to book the other guy with a yellow card. This to me is disgusting and has no place in sport. 

Other activities are purposely taking players out and pull their shirt and hold their hands and many other cheating activities that have no place in sports. This problems are getting worse every year and being accepted by the fans and the followers. 

Voting consideration

I was watching a program which I do not recall what it was but there was a very intriguing discussion in it that I felt I would like to share with you. The discussion was in regards to the elected officials today in the US government. The statistic was something of really bizarre with something like 70%+ of the elected officials are trained and licensed attorneys. Now why is that not a good representation in the government. The argument was that attorneys by trade are designed to fight and win at any cost, right or wrong. This will create an environment of competition and ruthless interactions and pissing contest that is irrelevant to the public needs and ignorance of pressing issues that underprivileged are facing and struggling with. The current make up is by no means the representation of the general public and they obviously have no idea what the pressing issues are and they are caught up in their own world of proving the other side wrong.

We have a very effective system in place that has been bastardized over the years with campaign financing at the heart of all the problems. Corporations have figured out a way to buy their candidates elections putting them in the office so that they can serve their agendas. This as citizens of this country must stop and end it as the history has proven that this will only lead us to more corruptions and  eventual fall of an empire. We can not allow this to go on and keep pointing finger at the other party. This isn't about Democrat and Republican as they both are running the same show. We are forced to take one side or the other where in reality we can choose the proper path and remove the lawyers from the congress and replace them with decent public servant that have no other agenda except to serve our needs and create a better social environment.

This has to start from our local government and elect the people that are not lawyers to begin with and that they have genuine interests for the local area. This should include kids in school and local businesses to protect against the larger warehouse boxes that are taking over the country.

We are on a path of destruction and the sooner we realize this the sooner we can put a corrective action plan in place and reverse this viscous cycle.
