I am not being hostile toward the commercials.  Basic deal is that someone is
organizing an event, and there has been some back and forth about whether the
commercials will play.  I don't care if the commercials play.

Metaphor on.

This is a playground game.  If Michael Jordan shows up I'm sure there will be a
place for him.  But if he doesn't show up, I don't care as long as there are
enough guys for two teams, a hoop, and a ball that bounces.

Metaphor off.

The object is to compete for sake of competition, in my opinion.  I'd rather not
get too hung up about prizes or titles or whether it's the strongest tournament
ever, or what.
