This thread is a little weird. It goes without saying that this stuff isn't life or death. Usually when I say "It goes without saying" I'm not being that literal about it. But it really does go without saying. People like Capt Turtle saying that anyone take sports more seriously than life. Really, Turtle?
 
There is stupidity about perspective here. This is a Syracuse basketball board. Within the context of syracuse basketball this is a big deal. It goes without saying that cancer is worse. but what fun is it to spend your whole life letting the worst things in the world ruin everything. I feel so shameful for enjoying 2003, what does it matter, people are dying of cancer!
 
It's just an empty headed thing that people say about sports. I care a lot about lots of things that don't affect whether I'm alive. You make emotional investments in lots of things to enjoy your life. And sometimes you'll be let down and it doesn't matter to me if people think they're profound by pointing out that it's worse to die.
