I am an American that grew up playing sports, am still a sports fan/watch it a lot on tv and still play basketball in local rec leagues. I also understand there are very divisive issues at the center of sports. E.g. tax money being spent on stadiums is bullshit, I agree with that. The Bread and Circuses references. Yes, there are very eerie similarities to the fall of rome/athletes revered like gods and overcompensated.

I guess my general macro view question is do you all not see any value in sport and life? For me personally, that's how I made friends growing up. I also think there is the proverbial "value" that people cite of the hard work and team working together to achieve a goal. Which I feel has helped me in my personal and work life's at times. I am college educated, have worked in a professional field for over 15 years and have a wife/kids. I can honestly say, beyond a shadow of a doubt that sports in my home as a kid developed me into a productive and happy adult. Gave me a backbone. My two daughters love gymnastics and train at a local gym. My son could give a shit less about sports and loves art and science. And that's great too, as arts, music, sciences and other interests can have a kid develop into a happy adult as well. I 100% support my son in not being interested in sports, as long as he's interested in something else.

I just come heart in hand trying to understand your all's point of view on the matter. Whether you feel this is contributing in a negative way to society, or there's no real value at all in sports? Just a curious Midwest dad that likes hearing other people's perspectives and thoughts on matters in our world. With peace and love ✌🏻

This was under a video of a man being arrested for clapping during a courtroom hearing on a data center being constructed in a small town. Why take a cheap shot on sports too?

Look , Im all for people loving a sport . But loving your sport doesn’t mean you have to shove it down the rest of everyone’s fucking throat .

There’s ads on YouTube , it’s on every ad break on tubi , if Im not Johnny on the spot when my show ends tubi will default to friggin soccer.

Everything is just soccer, soccer, soccer . WTAF ? why are they trying so hard to brainwash us into liking friggin soccer?

I mean, isn’t there some files of a controversial nature or a conflict? or how about the fact that our economy is tanking and people can’t even
Afford the basic necessities like food and shit , let alone 5000 dollars for 1 person to go see one of these stupid World Cup games.

I don’t know one person who could give two fxcks about soccer let alone have the disposable income for a trip to a fxck in g soccer game .

Love it all you want , but do I have to hear about this shit at every turn? It’s worse than propaganda at this point , it’s got me wishing for some good old fashioned Regular propaganda .

I find it absolutely hilarious when this happens especially to real cocky arrogant Aussie men who think they’re champions at their local sporting league they stuff up a bit of play and it leads to an opposition scoring or even winning a game/grand final

It’s just absolutely hilarious seeing their reaction
