Society is crumbling around us but my god is it amazing to have my circuses back. I feel bad for being so happy to watch sports again...

      I think this is a natural feeling to have while being aware of the absolutely pandering military worship peddled during most sports broadcasts. Not to mention other aspects that require deep investigation.

      All of that being said, there is a long history of sports and resistance. Dave Zirin talks about this in his book what’s my name fool. I love sports and have been able to find ways to enjoy it through a perspective focusing on labor history, protest, resistance and more.

        Not to mention if you do this to everything, you'll go insane. Sports are human life in microcosm. We fix the world and the problems in sports will disappear.
