Am I the only one that does not care about the Melbourne Cup in the slightest?
Just everything about it annoys me.
1. Horse racing is a stupid sport that simply would not exist without betting. Everyone always talks about how one horse is better than another, but they never just seem to time the races to see who is actually better. They don't care though, it's all about the win because that's where the gambling money is.
2. It's a never ending line up of c-list 'celebrities' to get their vacuous celebrities to get their stupid faces on TV.
3. I don't care what kind of 'fascinator' some z-list celebrity wore to win fashions on the field.
4. Jockey's creep me out.
5. Every single sports reporter or idiot at work thinks they're some sort of expert, when at the end of the day it's stupid horses who might not just feel like running. I don't know whether I want the favourite to win or lose. If the favourite wins, the bookies make a ton of money, but if he loses, said vacuous celebrities make money. Neither of those outcomes pleases me.
The AFL need to increase the length of their season to the end of October and the first cricket test needs to start at the beginning of November so we can squeeze horse racing.
I think I might go to the driving range around 2pm.
/end rant.
