What sports do you play? What sports would you like to play?

WE WON ONE

highlight of the year, obv

Um, this is a huge problem, not something to be cheered on? It might be possible that encouraging young, mostly Black men to ruin their bodies (and often their brains) for life to enrich a bunch of already rich white dudes because "it's the only way out of poverty" is the biggest indictment of sport as it relates to race and class in the US.

^we have a problem where we put all sports convo through the lens of the NFL. I don't think that basketball, soccer, or baseball are particularly destructive, not that injuries can't happen, but I'm not sure on balance those sports are more destructive than sitting at a desk 40 hours a week

hockey is probably closer to football esp w brain injuries (possibly worse but must ppl just don't pay attention to hockey)

also I think people who don't like sports forget that it's fun! most of the players like it and want to play, and lots of people who aren't close to pro go to the YMCA and play in their free time, I would say most players were obsessed with the sport and getting good and taking the time to practice and work on their craft and study the sports
