Sports and the subculture of sex:
A quick survey of the groupie culture in the big four pro sports leagues: Orlando Magic GM Pat Williams calls the NBA All-Star Game the "Super Bowl of sports sex".

I second that! I dream of being a pro athlete, not for the fame but for the money and especially, the women. Have you seen some of these groupies?! My lord, can you imagine being Michael Jordan?! Some of the most gorgeous women in the world wouldn't hesitate a second if they had a chance to sleep with him- I've known avowed lesbians who say they'd do Michael, cuz he's Michael. It's the perks of the job- any player who doesn't take advantage of it is either a better man than I, or a complete fool. Moralize when you're in your fifties and starting to medidate on impending death; but when you're young, full of energy, and rich as hell, you oughta be screwing like a bunny rabbit.

Thank you. you oughta be screwing like a bunny rabbit Just like Magic Johnson? And what about marital vows? Are they to be ignored by the star players as well? Believe me, I'm not some religious type who thinks pre-marital sex is bad, or some poetic fool that believes sex=love every time. I just think that Hal's simplification of sexual gratification is a bit much.

Amen, Grum. I think Hal needs a cold shower or something.

Hey Hal...sounds like Ufez and Grum will leave them for us. Should we get together and start practicing our free throws? I realized this fact from the movie He Got Game - remember when Jesus visits college? And Rick Fox is sitting with him in the cafateria and they're looking at all the coeds? Ahhhhhyeeaaa.
