"jaded pompous fool"? (You're lookin' in a mirror, right?)
Way to take a world view, guy. And, by the way, I'm totally sincere--guess that means I'm "youthful", too. But, really, calling someone "heroic" because they play sports--perhaps even being good at it--is almost as "sincere" as calling someone an "idiot" for not sharing your personal view.
Feel free to continue on with any diatribe on your own.
