Hear me out…

Until very recently I have been quite concerned with the youth culture in the United States.

Let’s just say that if I have to bet on our skinny jean wearing androgynous little glee watching participation ribbon getters or a billion factory working little Chinese fuckers in Nikes they made themselves???  I will be placing a healthy wager on the yellow team.

America’s Best Dance Crew, Twitter and Prius’s don’t win wars…  Soldiers do…

Back in my day, I honed my skills on the playground where I was just as likely to end the confrontation with a figure four leglock as I was to give you a Rude Awakening.  Point was, I played some G Damned sports and learned to wrestle from steroided up racist stereotypes every Monday.

Admittedly there is still wrestling and UFC has gained considerable popularity…  Unfortunately as I age I realize that the WWE actually is the white trash soap opera my father proclaimed it to be and most UFC fans are Affliction T-Shirt wearing meat heads.

American Ninja Warrior on the other hand?  This is a sport that celebrates agility, speed, strength and awesomeness.  This is a sport that might come in handy when we inevitably get invaded after China realizes we have Totinos Pizza Rolls.

I have been watching the Ninja Warrior shows for a few seasons now, and it always struck me as one of the most bad ass television shows of all time.  Until recently it never dawned on me that it had a legitimate chance to go mainstream.  This season, this format…  Has a very real breakout sport feel to it.  This could be the Tipping Point for ANW, and I could not be happier.

After all, my fat ass isn’t going to war…  Send these freaks

Also, it is an amazing sport to interact with the athletes in…  I would imagine it is similar to the WSOP before Moneymaker’s fat ass won it.
