I know that it has been a long while since I wrote in this meager
evaluation of my life. After my last entry I went through a bit of a depression. It seemed
that no matter where I turned, there was Bo Jackson. He knows football. He knows baseball.
He knows hockey. He knows javelin throw. He knows synchronized swimming. He knows cricket.
He knows women's field hockey. I can't take it anymore. Why is this man so famous for
being able to alternately hit and throw a ball? I wrote 5,000 words about the outerwear of
Inuits while at UC-Irvine, and nobody is putting me on television. It has to stop. I'm not
foolish enough to think I can overthrow the institution of American professional
athleticism, but. . . this one man. I need to bring an end to the ubiquitousness of this
one man.
The way I see it is this: the Nike corporation has spoon fed us this one truth: Bo knows
sports. But outside of this, does Bo know anything at all? I, as a man of academia, feel
that it is my duty to the future of this great nation to show the world how little it is
that Bo truly knows. If I can show this "professional athlete" to be the
lumbering shell of a human that he is, nothing but muscle mass and an empty-headed catch
phrase, maybe I can end the tyranny of "sportsfandom" that has the country at
it's mercy. Maybe I can bring about a golden age for the United States, a Renaissance
even. Or not, I don't know. But the truth remains; I must do this.
I must find what Bo does not know.
