    These kinds of sports things sound good but eliminating competition isn't going to work. People enjoy competition. People seek out and create competition for themselves, it's interesting, it's fun, it's a game.

    I am not saying that non-competition type stuff won't work either, but you need both. Or you're just handing over all the people that like competition to the far right.

    Guess where young boys 10-15 go to get role models that are fighters because they're scared the other kids will beat them up? They look up sports and find the top fighters.

    I actually like the point about making it a collective thing, sort of a movement, a self body improvement left thing. That's good, but it doesn't need to also toss out individual rolemodels entirely either.
