The origins of competition are rarely discussed in polite company. Rather, people tend to dwell on future and present events, unless they're a poor loser. Little is known about where competition got it's start, and that being so, I'm going to tell you now, quickly, while there are no opposing sides to it.
Vikings referred to it as"Football", the sport now accepted as Ice Hockey in most of the world.It consisted of three opposing teams heavily armed with various deadly,yet edible objects. The first team would attempt to taunt the second with insults about their mothers. These were usually fictional insults, they weren't barbarians. While the second team was at their most provoked stage,the third would sneak up behind them with switchblades and demand compromise.This meant giving up weapons/food. Now needless to say, the third team always won. But the beauty is that no one ever knew which team was which,seeing as the term "teamwork" wasn't invented until the late 70's.Yes disco-mania changed the face of modern sport in ways that no other quick-lived fad could possibly attempt to match. It was a time of peace, love, and pyrotechnics. Although,through all that it had to offer mankind... many could see a dark cloud rolling gradually over the optimistic silver lined goody-goody cloud. With these new alliances came the next obvious step. That's right, Gatorade. Gatorade is a salty fruity drink that has been said to taste somewhat like pop-rocks dissolved in ocean water. They shamelessly plug their products on billboards throughout the sporting arenas, and their silly-juice is sold to the teams and spectators alike. Many have said that it is a painful reminder of that third 'Football team, long forgotten. The team sneaking up from behind and taking it all from the other two. The winning team of the two competing is not important.Gatorade has truly won the greater game. (this article brought to you by Chocula's "Spicey Sport" power drink...
