Lemmy: “Don’t fall victim to capitalism and the pressure to squeeze value and production out of every instant of your lives. Pursue activities you are passionate about and consume media that you like. Enjoyment is more than sufficient as an end goal.”
I’m not all that into sports myself, but I worked a job doing TV news camera work for a while and people seemed way more into a high school football or basketball games than they are at bigger events. Maybe because they’re not all getting drunk?
That’s a bit of a false dichotomy. What media we enjoy and what activities we are passionate about is partly a product of capitalist ideology. So to get out of that, it doesn’t help to pursue mindless enjoyment.
The issue is that billionaire owners use tax money to build a new 500 millions stadium and then keep the profit. Fuck that, the government should take the revenue in proportion to what they paid in.
You would see the fucking parasites take out their wallet fucking fast.
The government could take that money instead and finance good quality sport facilities for the community instead.

“I am very intelligent.”
Believe it or not, sports are played outside of taxpayer-funded stadiums and many of them don’t even charge you money to watch.
Are you saying the commercialization of sports is the problem? What’s up with the nuanced take, I want easy to digest answers like “sports = bad” /s

They pay a lot more for the bigger events, but they have no connection to the people on the field. Its a bit different when your kid is playing.
