Joining Rec League Sports: Pros and Cons

Softball

 Pro:  Opportunity to legitimately purchase a nice pouch of Big League Chew.

 Con:  Going through some bizarre, vaguely satanic ritual to break in a glove.  This usually seems to involve embalming it, running it over with a car, and smothering a newborn calf with it to create a “sweet spot.”

Volleyball

 Pro:  Lots of hot babes play beach volleyball on TV.

 Con:  Significant reduction in the time spent watching said hot babes due to the fact that I have to leave my apartment at least once a week for games.

 Dodgeball

 Pro:  I game that, though I can’t master, I can grasp.

 Con:  Hearing bros quote lines from Dodgeball, a motion picture that they “watch the shit out of.”

 Basketball:

 (note:  the idea of me playing basketball is fucking ridiculous, so there’s no point.  However, I would like to take this opportunity to say something possibly racist, but that is ultimately meant to help out my black friends:  How come nobody has invented an effective tattoo ink that’s white?  Seriously, I see a hell of a lot of basketball players who most be spending an assload on tattoos, but I can barely see them because the contrast just isn’t good.  Again, not a slam.  Just trying to help.)

 Soccer:

 Pro:  This is a game that discourages you from catching a ball, so all of a sudden my natural inability to do so becomes an asset.

 Con:  Again, I don’t want to come off as racist here either.  Again, just trying to be helpful.  But a lot of non-whites play soccer. 

 Flag Football

 Pro:  No special preparation necessary.

 Con:  Taking an essential element out of a sport sort of seems to defeat the point of the sport.  Why not just have a sport called Flat Tennis where there’s no net and we just swing at an imaginary ball and make hitting noises with our mouths?
