I guess you just dont get it. Apathy is bliss. No true joy but no true pain either. What, can you actually imagine to how many people on the world this happens, that they can't take the final step. He doesn't deserve special empathy and no it's not very sad, very sad is when someone dies of hunger although he struggles all his life for food and he suffers through whatever it took to get food, but still he couldn't get any.
Wow, you are an asshole. I wonder if you have any friends. They come to you sad and say they lost the baseball championship because they made a small mistake and you say "THERE ARE PEOPLE STARVING. STFU." Yea right.

From a scientific point of view, the mind over body thing is highly inefficient lol. I think if you are talent with the all the right assets, you probably can slack off and be mid core, but if you manage to put your mind over ur body then you can become great.
Asian athelets are naturally disadvantaged so it is very appriopriate for them to develope this mentality :/

Let's all laugh at the little kid, point at him, call him names, rub sand in his eyes and poke him with sticks!

Hmm, only the asians think this is cool.

That's not sad. It's pathetic. But essentially u are refering the same thing as haji, both men wanted some thing so bad but couldn't get it, they just after 2 thing on completely different scale. One is neccesity, another is his own fufillment of self worth. There is no reason to discredit the baseballer , he doesn't need to struggle for food, he struggles for something greater. You can do nothing but applaude for his effort because he tries to do something in his life. I guess you can't understand that notion, thats fine. Some people prefer to enjoy their life, some find enjoyment in persuing a goal.
I do understand that he struggles for something greater, but the whole thing is a bit random because people lose all the time, I mean the others were also sad because they lost, and other millions of people are also sad when they lose, and well for me it's not something that deserves my special sadness attention.

I would hate to be the winning team. The win would feel like shit to me to win on something so fucking dumb.

My friends don't play baseball. And they can accept other opinions without insulting someone.

So what exactly deserves ur attention? this?
TESTOSTERONE THREAD
Yeah, you are right. People lose all the time, we get use to it. The point people try to make is that This guy didn't deserve to lose because of one sec of losing concentration especially after he has come so far and endured so long and go out of his career after that. Millions of other people can't do that, they half - ass try to do some thing, gets owned and obviously don't give too much thoughts about it because they didn't put so much effort like this kid.

Illuvatar, seriously, get a clue. Why are you still arguing? Your reasoning of "it doesn't deserve my attention coz there are so many sad things outside of this" is just silly. Following that logic nothing at all deserves to be called sad coz there's a million other things you could be sad about. That's retarded. You've been told so by how many people in this thread by now?
Just give up already, FFS.

You look back on the 210 pitches that he threw that day, not the one balk.
The pity we are inclined to feel is trumped by the admiration we have for his effort.
It's that simple.

What? I just made my point, I have no interest in persuading you or any other person. I just said that people losing doesn't make me sad, it's a part of sport and if you want to be a sportsman you have to lose a lot and I clearly stated before that it makes me sad seeing people dying, so please don't write about what I said without exactly knowing what I said.
So to end this, I am a bit more reasonable at the moment so I accept that this is more tragic than the normal losing, and I feel a bit sad when I listen to the music and the video so well it did deserve special attention, but as I'm generally not a great friend of sports I'm not really willing to accept anything that comes out of this topic, especially not the great emotions, that might be a reason for my for you rather ignorant posts, but I guess I get the point, somehow.

why post in a topic about losing in sports at all then, when you are only here to disagree and "not accept" anything anyone says in it, isn't that just blatant trolling
