Sporting events and their outcomes are meaningless in the grand scheme of the world, but they are also community assets. Sports, especially college sports, unite neighbors from all walks of life towards a common goal and that’s a good thing

Y’all care too much about SPORTS on here. When did being into athletics become a political talking point. Who gaf about college athletes? They’re gonna become physical therapists in 20yrs. Who cares?

I wouldn’t say meaningless. Rather they give meaning to lots of people. It instills discipline, work ethic, and brings good physical condition. Sports are good for everyone.

Thats not the point. Why does it turn into who gets to play them, what the teams decisions mean, or why that matters, and why ppl basically make their political beliefs mimic what their fav sports team does or doesn’t do? it contributes to a win-lose mentality. Especially the way Americans act like it’s also a morality signal.

Football (both types) is actually a phenomenal team sport and instills good values into the people that play it. Our version of it makes men into literal freaks of nature like a almost 400 pound DB who can run 40m in 5 seconds

I don’t mean completely meaningless. I believe sports are very important for the reasons you stated and the benefit of establishing community. But a team winning or losing won’t affect if we have rights or not (very extreme example but the point is there). They are meaningless in the sense that the world won’t change because a team wins or loses

ofc there’s positive aspects, but the way people care and talk about them now, is not at all positive. It also hurts athletes in the long run.

Like everything it gets corrupted by money but the amount of strategy and quick thinking these players do is at a new level
