“Yes I want to be part of a proletarian mass movement but liking sports is normie boring low-IQ primate brain behavior” -statements dreamt up by the utterly deranged

There is nothing wrong with liking sports, sports are cool and fun and can be healthy social events. For someone who is a casual sporting event enjoyer, sportsball discourse is kinda rude and minimizing of their interest.

There is a lot wrong with defining your entire identity around sports and acting like a child throwing a temper tantrum when others don’t also base their entire identity around sports. It is for those people that sportsball discourse is not only suggested, it is mandatory, because those people should be shamed into doing something useful with their lives. This is doubly true for people who base their entire identity around some specific subset of sports and who reject any sport outside of that subset. If smacking ball with stick across grass can be a sport then pretty much anything can be a sport.

everyone’s always “media literacy is ruining tv” and never “media literacy is ruining sports fandom” even though both are true.

Yea it’s seems like an obvious statement but people dont generally have a problem with people liking sports, they have a problem with people who cannot healthily moderate their emotions.

Obviously there’s some of the pretentious holier than though types but they’re literally just on reddit from everything I’ve seen and reddit says downhill skiing is irresponsible and selfish because it’s too dangerous and they do t understand how it could be enjoyable.

Yes, driving to a mountain is incredibly dangerous and that’s why the ski train must be seized by the workers

My town literally just celebrated the 100 year anniversary of the snow train that bought tourists to town that kicked off skiing in the area.

They’d get off the train and locals would charge a nickel to drive them to the top of the mountain and it would take them all day to ski back to town.

Sports are okay but in a communist society ads, commercials, and product placements would be banned.

Also American football would be banned too, that shit sucks. Other sports are fine.
