    Fuck Olympics. Fuck World Cup. Fuck Superbowl.

    You like sports? Go do some sport. Don’t pay corrupt corporation to watch it.

      There are no Nazis in roller derby. (In fact, both USARS and the WFTDA are explicitly anti-Nazi.) And here in Kansas City, our WFTDA league reads an inclusion statement before every game.

      Support your local roller derby league.

        And even then, they generally don’t wanna watch amateurs, semi-pro, or low league pros. Can only be the national/world leagues or nothing at all.

        Almost as if they don’t really care about sport but instead are using it as a means to be part of a group, to have a cultural link with others. A shame sport culture is mostly brainrot pundits constantly waffling shite like “they really wanted to win this one” as if they’re not trying to win every time. No moment of silence and just watching the spectacle allowed. Constant punditry, hours of pointless analysis before and after every game.

        Not to mention the constant hype as if each match is the most important of all time

        Watching amateur sport is far more interesting IMO. Less predictable, more exciting, no bullshit punditry, more passion for the sport.

        I know. And most of them, as most of the society in general, don’t want to sacrifice anything for the sake of morals. World Cup games are played on stadiums build by slave? Not my problem, I just want to see my national team play. IOC protecting war criminals? Not my problem, I’m just here to celebrate sports. NFL is making money by giving people brain injuries? But it looks so cool!
