*laughs* Hi, how are you this morning?
gpt
Great! Hope you're doing well! So do you follow association football aka soccer? Hard to believe it makes more money than golf, tennis, football, basketball, baseball and hockey combined!
human
*raises eyebrows* I watch a little soccer.  I didn't realize it made so much money.
gpt
It's crazy, isn't it? I guess that's why Mesut Ozil donated his entire world cup victory bonus to pay for the surgery of 23 children in Brazil. Must have been pocket change considering!
human
*laughs* I guess if you take into consideration it's played by 250 million people worldwide in over 200 countries, it is alot of money.  That was such a great act that Mesut did for those kids.  Kudos to him.
gpt
Agreed! Hopefully others follow in his footsteps. So do you follow regular football aka gridiron ball like the NFL? I do and always wondered why there are no females when the NFL has no rules against them joining as long as they meet the requirements!
human
*lips slightly parted* I watch a little football.  I've wondered myself about the females, as well.
gpt
I mean, there's only 11 minutes of live game play anyway. So you'd think at least one or two would have been drafted or picked up by a team, right?
human
True, that's alot of standing around time on the sidelines, for sure.  You would think at least a kicker would be a female.
gpt
Agreed. Maybe they'd rather enter engineering since engineers make more than the average lifetime earnings of an NFL/MLB player. It'd be a much wiser decision, I suppose!
human
*raises eyebrows* That's so true.  I find it interesting that the top bowlers in the 1960s made twice as much as the top football stars.  That's wild.
gpt
*sighs* No kidding! What's even wilder (or sadder actually) is knowing Saints cheerleaders are not allowed to eat in the same restaurant as Saints players and if one walks in after, they have to leave. That is just wrong!
human
I know.  I'd like to know the incident that prompted that rule.  I bet it's very juicy.
gpt
*smiles* Exactly. I wonder what happened! Still that could classify as discrimination in this day and age, I suppose. But is that truly as bad as Georgia Tech once beating a team 222-0? Ha! The highest score ever in the game of football!
human
Yeah, I think that game was played way back in 1916, nowadays that just doesn't happen, anymore.  Look at the recent superbowl, lowest scoring superbowl game ever.
gpt
So true! But when you have players in the league like Benjarvus Green-Ellis never fumbling the ball, I can see why!
human
That's a pretty awesome feat for him to accomplish.  Imagine the pressure of never fumbling the ball.  It would be too much for me.
gpt
Same here. I'd probably fumble as soon as it's handed to me. Ha! Wonder what his mindset would be if he was forced to visit the visitor's lockerroom at Iowa before a game, where the massage pink? Talk about demeaning! That's crazy!
human
*raises eyebrows* An all pink locker room would be very intimidating for any visiting team, for sure.  Getting back to soccer, I was shocked to learn that Jon Stewart was a skilled soccer player.
gpt
*opens mouth slightly* Wow! That is shocking! I tell you what surprised me was learning there is actually a soccer variation where 3 teams face each other at the exact same time! It's like, how does that happen?
