Josh Womack Bat Flip and Aaron Shutway Full Court Shot Aren't Really That Exciting
The Public Sure Is Lazy When It Comes To Viewing Sports Clips On YouTube
Since I've been more or less living on the internet for the last 2 1/2 years, I've seen a lot of crazy stuff on YouTube. But, for the life of me, I can't understand why certain mediocre stuff goes nuts, while truly awesome stuff is ignored.

Anyway, this week there have been two videos that have gone nuts on the internet. First is Josh Womack's bat trick:


That thing has nearly 3 million views on YouTube. Is it really that good? Yeah, it's ok. But it's not nearly as cool as this.
 
 

The second video of the week is that kid Aaron Shutway hitting a flipping full-court shot. Perhaps I didn't give two s**** about this shot because we used to to try this every lunch break in grammar school, and we occasionally hit it.
 

That video has 1.5 million views on YouTube. But there's no way in hell it tops this shot that was actually done during a real game.

 

Call me jaded, call me whatever, but I'm dismayed by the laziness of the internet public in terms of their sports videos. There are better ones out there, you just have to dig for them.

More than the Nationals can make.

 Hey, nothing against this post, because while I have in fact never tried to cut a baseball in half, and it is very impressive, why are you dismayed that the bat trick has so many views? And calling the viewers lazy for viewing it? I mean I cant do either, and I doubt many of us could. Imo I find all 4 of the videos impressive...

 If anythings lazy, it's making fun of the Nationals. Let's get with it FanIQ.

Actually, here at FanIQ we are rather diligent in our ridiculing of the Natinals. We are not lazy about it at all.
