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.

    Obsession over corporate sports is a problem but many people enjoy it. I’m sure you have hobbies or activities that aren’t productive.

    I don’t follow professional sports but I also don’t care if people aren’t interested in 3d printing, cats, cooking, sci-fi media or any of my other hobbies.

    (Cooking falls into hobby because it’s not about survival but taste.)
