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.
Don’t put money towards any of the major sport franchises.
Want to see a game? go to a local lower level league.
NBA/NHL/NFL/etc … stop going and more importantly stop buying their merchandise.
Want to really stick it to them? Vote for a government that will properly tax the every living SHIT out of these mega franchises.
What are your thoughts on
Competitive rowing?
Competitive lumberjack competitions?
Car Racing? Sailing? Airplane Racing? (involving a piece of equipment)
1 person competitions like Golf?
1 on 1 sports like Tennis?
Maybe your issue isn’t the ‘competitive’ nature?
Maybe your issue isn’t the ‘sports’?
I suspect your beef is with the over the top American Sport Major Sport Leagues and how they are run.
