    Sports are good. Most American sports like football and baseball are dogshit, but in general sports are good.

      I think there are a lot of times and places where competition is good - having a clear winner and loser. Sometimes people who put forth their best effort need to get their teeth kicked in by somebody who did more, learned better, and executed better. Rivalries can give many people meaning in their lives and a drive to actualize themselves in ways that solidarity and creating a better world never could.

      Maybe the loser doesn't need to be homeless and disenfranchised.

      We need to do some Futuresports

      Change it up a little. Like, what if football but rollerskates. That would be fun if we just switched over for like six months

      Playing sports is awesome, watching sports can be good, it's a great group activity.

      However, the takeover of sports by the capitalist machine has caused :

      1. removal of class awareness and home teams - removal of political ideology (read: non-neoliberal politics) from team identity
      2. saturation by ad-focused sporting events that are no longer about sport but about making ad revenue
      3. sports used as a distraction from life - you can't go out and struggle when you are watching mind numbing tv sports 3b) why do so many chuds love sports? Because it's a way to not think about cognitive dissonance in their lives, and also simulate violence.

      Anyway, I don't know what my point is, but sports could be good, they just have a lot of problems which have been caused by capitalism.
