THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
QUOTE OF THE DAY
PAGE 11
"It concerns us to know the purposes we seek in life, for then, like archers aiming at a definite mark, we shall be more likely to attain what we want."
- Aristotle from thinkexist.com
THE MORNING BREW
Archery is one of the oldest sports that was present in many different civilizations.
— Olympic.org
TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q: When was archery included as an Olympic sport?
A: 1900
— Olympic.org
Professional sports are hungry for dirt
The current hot topic is the Hunger Games but not because it's about extreme competition.
For those who haven't read the books or seen the movie, I warn you of spoilers. The series depicts a nation that requires 24 teenagers to participate in an extreme survival competition every year. The catch is that only one competitor is allowed to survive.
The novels are laced with political commentary about violence in our society. Another important element of the books is that they show how sports or competition has the ability to determine a person's worth.
While this isn't a new theme or a new aspect of society, it does have an interesting new twist with modern celebrity
culture. The list of well known celebrities has expanded over the years to include well-known professional athletes to lesser known athletes as well. We all know more about our favorite celebrities than we need. Their personal lives are incorporated into our judgments
about their accomplishments and their careers.
For example, if a college or professional athlete has an affair, it suddenly makes headline news and then comes the official apology and promise for redemption. It is turning into a tired and old routine. Honestly, incidents like this occur all the time among civilians but none of them make headline news. I understand the argument that they are public figures, but at what point do their personal lives matter too much?
The Hunger Games tackles this issue by depicting an extreme case of celebrity love. The competitors get the royal treatment but the whole time they have to follow strict guidelines about how to act in the public eye. One wrong
step and it could mean their lives. In our world, the consequences aren't that extreme but I really do wonder sometimes.
I enjoy watching sports just for the competition, not because the athletes are amazing people outside the arena. Frankly, I have better things to do than agonize over an athlete's fall from "grace."
