Sports as something people participate in and enjoy watching at a local level
Agreed. If sports were a local level thing, I think it would boost and bolster people's connection to the place they live for real. The idea of local athletes is probably good for the soul of a people. Even in urban metro areas, i think it would provide a since of civic pride that has been lost.
Sports as massive corporate gambling enterprises with bootlicking and flaghumping propaganda built right in
Sports would be a lot cooler if each sport wasn't run by two MEGACORPS and some special organization institution. Just about every sport (team or solo) is captured by some group of vampires. From the rules, to the equipment, to the spaces to do the sport, it's always like a cabal of like 3 and a half groups.
Also the gambling thing has made sports worse and has probably hurt regular people a lot but people don't talk about it. I'm not some "vice" shit, but gambling is one of those things people don't really talk about nor is really much care of other than a hotline number (that gets played at the end of a gambling ad). Gambling is far too profitable to really be like public health issue and that kind of just sad.
Finally. No should be paying more than $12 to go see a sports live, also kids should just get in free. Going to see sports is like going to a damn concert these days. Also concerts tickets should not be so high either.
