Jeffrey Epstein invested most of his life covering sports events. During high school he was enthusiastic about the game of basketball, but he is not tall enough. With the ball handling abilities of a center, and the mindset of a power forward, his 5’10″ forced him to turn his eye towards different sports. By default he ended up running Cross Country. Jeffrey Epstein still holds a State cross country course record, not because he was all that fast, but because they altered the course immediately after he won a race with a new course record.

The first professional sports activity he watched as a kid in Hawaii was the minor league baseball. While he was vacationing in the mainland he was able to view Don Drysdale vs. Juan Marichal two times and he also viewed Warran Spahn and Hammering Hank Aaron at Candlestick Park.

His first taste of professional basketball was a pre-season game involving the Lakers and the Blazers featuring Bill Walton against Kareem. Moments into the first quarter Kareem cold-cocked Walton and was ejected. From then on, the game was boring.

One of his very first memories was seeing Peter Snell run in person. Fresh off his double at the 1964 Olympics, Mr. Snell was wishing to run the first sub 4 minute mile in Hawaiian history. Unfortunately, it did not happen, but what astonished me was how big Peter’s legs. They had muscles on top of muscles on top of muscle tissues. I’ve never witnessed anything like it.

Jeffrey Epstein is nothing in any other case contrarian. There was a case when he showed up at Boston Garden donning his New York Knicks colors and cheering for Clyde, Earl, Dave, Bill, and Willis Reed while at the Staple Center he donned his Celtic gear. Remarkably, he lived through his presence at both locations.

Years before, he happened to have accessibility to Laker season tickets at the Forum and compounded his income by selling his extra tickets before entering the arena. What he found amazing was that by this way of measuring Charles Barkley was the biggest draw. He earned more than $20 for face value alone in every ticket sold at Barkley’s game, which is much higher than the face value every time Michael Jordan and his time are in the area.

While living in Boston for eight years, outside of two Knick–Celtic games, Jeffery Epstein can correctly state that not once did he show up at a game at Fenway Park, nor did he waste time on a Patriots game in person – hey, it’s cold in Massachusetts in the winter time. It is probably true that absence makes the heart grow fonder because ever since he transferred to LA Mr. Epstein loves the Celtics and the Patriots – go figure.

A true blue sports romantic, that is Jeffrey Epstein. He hates the brand new venue parks. The Staple Center may be hassle-free because the lines at the refreshment counters are fairly short, but as a sporting venue it is an epic fail. Thirteen rows from the court and you might as well be watching mimes. The arena layout just sucks the sound right out of the building – where normally there should be the noises of sneakers squeaking on the court, refs whistles blowing, and players barking out defensive assignments there is nothing but a vast silence.

Jeffrey Epstein is also not a supporter of the taming of sports in general. The cannot touch the quarterback in football, the death of bump and run coverage of receivers, the lack of hand checking in basketball and the assessment of flagrant fouls have made the games virtually unwatchable. In many ways, television has ruined sports: first because it has jacked players’ salaries to the point where the league had to invent rules to protect the owners’ investments and second because of the extra TV timeouts making the games unwatchable personally. As well as ticket prices that are simply ridiculous. It is dismal to conclude that watching sporting events on TV is way better than watching it in person.

Football is an extremely competitive sport that grips a large percentage of people every season. Men, women, adults and children alike enjoy going along and supporting their much-loved team play every week. The overall game is one that is associated with a rollercoaster of various emotions including passion, emotion, pleasure and dedication. Despite the fact that fans may support different teams depending on their location and preference across the world, the emotions experienced during a typical game are universal.

Obviously all sports fans are extremely excited about their favourite sport, but there’s something different about football that literally brings out the most extreme emotions of happiness and anger in people. It really is fair to say that football could be the main cause of sports-related violence in the world. Although rugby is a very physical game, you don’t get the sort of violence or crime that may be often associated with football. There isn’t any clear reason that explains why this is so, however the concentration of emotion is apparently magnified in a game of football with at least two thirds of fans admitting they have cried at football matches- most likely through joy or because of a feeling of utter despair.

With the 2010 FIFA World Cup looming this gives football fans a chance to exercise their love for the game and for their country. The World Cup often encourages people who find themselves not necessarily big football fans to get behind our team by supporting our nation. The obvious way to show your support as a football fan is to use a football flag. It’s obvious that the World Cup stadium this year in South Africa will probably be filled with supporters and their custom flags as a display of support to their country. Football fans across the world use flags as a way of conveying a great sense of support towards a specific team or country and with this support comes a sense of pride and unification. If you go to an away match and are standing in an overseas stadium surrounded by other people with similar flag as you, you cannot help but feel an immense pride for your country. Not only do football flags produce a sense of unity and pride for the supporters but it also helps players to perform well when they know they have the fans behind them.

Investing with any type of sports merchandise such as football flags may also raise a large amount of income for just about any club, therefore by purchasing a flag of your favourite team you’re really supporting them where it counts. Football flags will almost always be very popular amongst football fans as the ultimate sign of support. You could decide among a number of different types of flags from hand held ones to huge flags and you can even purchase a football flag to place on your car to show your support wherever you go!
