Swaggering Braggadocio

Professional athletes are light years removed from the common human.

More money than any of us will ever see, a privileged life gently cushioned with fan adoration.

Somehow we forget all that as we get caught up in the passion of the game.

Except for golf.

Golfers casually walk around a pristine environment, crowd respectfully hushed so as not to disturb their concentration, and the unmistakable message is wealth and privilege and elitism.

NBA players give off the same air only they push it right in your face with swaggering braggadocio.
