We get it. You don’t like sports. Who cares. I think there’s validity to sport and I enjoy watching and playing many of them. Has capitalism ruined everything the common person holds dear in most sports? Yes. I literally wrote an article about it.
But sport itself isn’t inherently bad and being like “herp derp sportsball” makes you sound like a basement dweller incel who wants to shoot up their school because they think jocks get all the girls instead of the kind gentlesirs who study the blade.
A lot of people are only exposed to sport as a tv show and a product, but most sports have roots that go back hundreds of years, are very influenced by working class history and local teams are often at the heart of communities (although many have been stolen and turned into just another generator of capital).
Sports have also been an arena for the class struggle - aristocrats and workers battling it out over who should be allowed to play and control different games at different time, “amateurs vs professionals” (i.e. those who were wealthy enough to be able to fund their sporting career as a hobby vs talented workers who needed to be paid to play) was a controversy in sports for decades. Even today there are many teams run and owned by fans in some sports, and the struggle between workers who have been watching their teams for decades (even through multiple generations of families) vs their indifferent capitalist owners is ongoing.
Also playing sports is fun and you will make friends and get healthy.
Read up on sport in 20th century socialist states, it was treated with massive investment and athletes were awarded high honour, it was tied in to public health (along with often being integrated with making people fit enough to serve in the army to defend against all the capitalist countries wanting to invade you for trying to not be capitalist). Even in capitalist countries today grassroots sport is one of the only real community/social circles people have that isn’t tied to working for a capitalist.
Where is the propaganda? How is it uniquely American? The Superbowl could take place in any liberal democracy. Liberal democracies suck ass but its foolish to pretend that they are actually fascist.
Its a championship game for a popular sport. That's it. It has a hyped up halftime show, hyped up advertisements and a brief military flyover. You're acting like its a military recruitment event with several long credos about protecting the motherland and crushing the invaders. Its just a football game. It's the BIGGEST football game every year. But that's all it is. It does not promote fascist ideology or really reflect fascism. It's consumerist sure, but not fascist.
pick one, this is utterly embarrassing, they begin the "Games" with the burger national anthem, anything celebrating the existance of a genocidal settler-colonial nation built on the blood of non-white people is fascist
You actually think america is a democracy :farquaad-point:
Critical thinking is lame, noted.
There are multiple examples refuting your dogbrained "arguments" in this thread and its not even worth talking to you seriously until you address every single one of them.
@SgtHatred isn't actually a communist.
They're a liberal who comes here to concern troll.
Their entire post history is just doing apologia for reactionaries, trying to deradicalise people, trying to make us look bad when semi-public figures come to do AMAs and just in general, presumably for screenshot purposes and occasionally going "oh wow, us communists sure are awful and weird huh, no wonder everyone hates us".
