I have a great idea for a new sport. I am thinking I will introduce it to a bunch of people close to me so we can really refine the sport. Then, we will play other people - teaching them this new game. Of course we will probably win most of these games because we will have had this "first mover" advantage, but over time we will also tweak the rules (probably to make sure we win more games). If anyone else gets a little "forward thinking" and wants to change the rules; well, we will make it difficult for them.
We will hire one of our own to be the coach. He will be a fervent supporter for our team - and of course making sure we keep this "first mover" advantage. Sure, some people may think of him as very arrogant and even a bigot - and for those people, we will decline to play them. After all, people like this will probably end up being better than us, and we can't be seen as not being the best. Some people may think of this as being exclusionary - we just think of this as being selective. You see, we just want to play people that we think we can beat.
Other teams can feel free to criss cross the land and play all of these other subservient teams that are certainly beneath us. But they are not us - we are the ones who are important. We will forever look back on these original times as our glory years; continually citing the great victories we had while we won game after game (against these teams who were still learning the rules). Many years from now, each team that participates in this sport will have a strong following. These maniacal fans will congregate into discussion forums organized by team. But our following will still be the best. In fact, we will go to other social media sites for these other teams and point this out to them - lest they forget. These other fans may not even come to our social media site. They must be so afraid of us, they can't even visit our site. I have to keep telling myself this - because it can't be me.
This will be a great sport - I can't wait to see it succeed.
(Please feel free to share my great idea on other sites - I don't waste my time going to other team's sites like the people who come to this one and whine)
