Reasons to just do away (I am not suggesting a government ban) on competive sports. Ex. basketball, football, baseball, damn near everything else. I wasn’t always like this. Had a conversation with wife of a co-worker 20 some years ago and thought she was nuts. Funny how time and reconsideration can change a person outlook.
A huge waste of time. Unproductive except for large corporations and inflating players egos.
It reinforces division and us vs. them attitudes. Not unity and cooperation like what is needed today.
Add in b.s. like taking a knee during the anthem and men in womens sports, let’s just do away with competive sports.
If you want to ‘stick it to the man’ of overpaid athletes and mega-rich sports conglomerates, please consider.
I now spend my sundays at the rifle range.
I don’t have a problem with competitive sports and such, but I do wish that it wasn’t such a large part of our collective culture. I don’t follow sports, and especially American Football. I have blue hair and last year nearly everyone was asking if I did it for the Detroit Lions. People who knew I had it for two years previous were asking me. Strangers in the store. I see ads for sports adjacent things when I don’t go to the websites like that or watch the games. Tired of seeing it everywhere.
