Idiot Fan Gets Refund From Oregon Coach

Many people have been to a sporting event and felt that the team underperformed and that their ticket money was wasted. One fan took action:

Tony Seminary traveled to Boise for Oregon's opening game against Boise State. He was apparently so disappointed in Oregon's performance that he e-mailed this to the coach of the Ducks, Chip Kelly:

"I was so angry with the game (even before the post-game melee) I am sending you an invoice for my trip to Boise. The product on the field Thursday night is not something I was at all proud of, and I feel as though I’m entitled to my money back for the trip. Please see my invoice attached in this email. I will happily send along receipts if need be." (from everydayshouldbesaturday.com)

So what does Coach Kelly do when he gets this e-mail? He responds with a request for his address, and then sends a personal check (click on the quote above to see) to Seminary for the amount of his expenses, $439. Well, this apparently caused quite an impression on Seminary, because he not only returned the check but is now Kelly's biggest fan.

Sure, you want to say that Kelly is a great man for actually sending a check to Seminary, but clearly the problem is that Seminary is a real idiot. For one, it's college sports. No matter how much you complain about Oregon's effort, none of the students are getting paid for their performance. No, the scholarship doesn't count, because the scholarship is a rouse to get the players on the team and the colleges don't graduate the players. The players play because they love football and because they would love to play in the NFL, as unlikely as it may be. College sports, great as they are, shouldn't be taken so seriously by idiots like Seminary.

As Seminary is happy to say "it's really hard to shut me up." He clearly should learn how, and quit taking college sports so seriously. Just because college athletes playing for zero money had a bad game doesn't mean you need to whine so much that you feel as if you deserve a refund from the exorbitant amount of money he likely can't afford following a bunch of college kids around the Pacific Northwest.
