You'd think that, but a lot of fascists are just hate-nerds full of resentment. It's more the regular lumpen conservative that loves sports. There's always been a divide between the regular old republican and the various factions of conservative intelligentsia, and the latter often tends to dislike sports.
fascists don't like sports any more than they like anything else.
In fact, the least fascist people I know watch sports. Unlike with gaming and fantasy shit you're actually exposed to people of different cultures and races.
Uh the Soviet Union and the CPC did and do encourage and heavily invest in sports. Sports are a social activity that promote fitness, camaraderie, and the collective spirit.
The Nazis wanted to be good at sports to prove they're ubermensch or whatever other shit.
I’m just talking historically, the Nazis themselves heavily encouraged sports, made kids work out,
I'm sorry, it just seems like you're suggesting that the encouragement of sports has historically been tied to fascism, giving the Nazis as an example.
I get where you're coming from but he didn't phrase it that way. he was only talking about fascist beliefs so what soviets or anyone who isn't a fascist does is irrelevant

There's a not insignificant number of white nationalists who see sports as bad because they elevate black men and encourage race mixing.
What level of fascist brain-rot is that fucking shit.

:le-pol-face:: I hate sports
It’s funny to think that many fascists are too intellectual for the Big Game crowd
But they hate being criticized even more.

A big pull for online fascists is criticism of the spectacle. They view it as a deviation/distraction from “real” matters.
