“Finding a single crumb of joy and sense of community in our alienated society is bad actually”

:so-true:

I didn’t say everyone has to like sport. But pretending it is completely valueless is weird. People want to belong to something and in the grand scheme of things, cheering for the local team is a pretty harmless expression of that compared to say, joining your local racism club or whatever other alternative they have in America.

There’s also this weird thing called “playing sport” where you join a team, working with others towards a common goal and engaging in competition with others doing the same. Forming bonds of friendship, improving your physical and mental well being.

But yeh muh sportsball bad.
