Pure commie propaganda parroted by a bunch of rich spoiled fags. No thanks, disposable money and free time to be used in preparation for commie disposal day ie Election Day
People need to stop paying so fucking much to watch a bunch of sweaty retards playing sportsball. Don't get me wrong, I love me some sport. But they don't deserve so much goddamn money.
Supply and demand, they get paid like that because idiots pay 100 bucks for a ticket to sit at the top of the stadium and with all these new stadiums being built ain't no telling how much the tickets are now.
I read somewhere that the Chicago Bulls barely had 10,000 fans per game before Michael Jordan showed up. Once they signed him, they sold out every game. Dude totally earned his millions.
The demand for sports has been high. The money that changes hands is enormous, even without considering the billions that get gambled. Athletes that are talented and healthy enough to rise above the millions they are competing against to reach the pinnacle of their sport are definitely deserving of heavy compensation. It seems weird that a backup quarterback can make more than the CEO of a successful business, but good backup qbs are actually harder to find than CEOs.
The problem I have with sports (other than the current kneeling crap) is that there's so much money on the line that athletes have switched from win at all costs to stay healthy for as long as possible to make as much money as possible in their lifetimes. The intensity level is modern sports just doesn't compare to what it used to be when the athletes had to take offseason jobs in order to feed their families. Used to be a good pitcher would fight you if you tried to pull him from a close game, now they all whine if they have to pitch past the sixth inning. Because stretching that career one or two more years can mean an extra ten million. Can't really blame them for that but the integrity of the sport suffers for it.
I hear you in terms of their skill they are extremely talented individuals. The problem I have is the contracts that they sign that basically render them to be talking heads for large corporations. The players have obligations to the teams that disallows them from speaking their mind more often than not. I know it is a bit of a stretch for me to say this, but sometimes I feel that they are extremely limited in some of the freedoms that we should be guaranteed as Americans. My problem is with the leagues themselves that get to damn political. The players are rewarded for pushing whatever agenda that is going to get their team some attention to sell some merch. The team owners are obligated to listen to their masters at the league headquarters. I understand they are huge marketing tools, I just think it is annoying.
Cardio, weapons, bullets, and acquiring stacks of tires to light on fire when the faggot commies show up. Brought lots of shit to riot with but forgot a fire extinguisher did ya?
Agreed. Don't need pro sports - they are riddled with consumerist degeneracy - alcoholism, sex, wastefulness, mind numbing compliance, etc.
Go compete yourself; improve your body and mind. Maybe even support a local team... But please see pro sports for what they are - commie faggot adults playing with a ball.
Pro yes, but there are a lot of people that need sports in college. It has helped a lot of people, even one that don't go on to pro, sports is still a big factor for their lives, we cannot refute that. Lets just hope they play and not do political shit, leave that to the baby pro's.
Fuck professional sports currently. They're beyond saving.

But they're so oppressed! Making what I will be lucky to make in a lifetime in a year by playing a sport! How horrible! So mistreated!

Yeah, I hear you brother.
People can do what they want as long as I don't have to pay for it.

Exactly. All these cucks nowadays wasting their time watching sports and playing video games when they could be doing so many more productive things
Instead of TV I focus on the following:

Welcome to Deplorable Country Commies
I totally want to see a video of people throwing flaming tires at rioters now.
