[in a well equipped sports room, a character rants] Someone has to say it… Some athletes have an advantage over others and it’s ruining sports!
[in a soccer field, a smug character points and replies] Damn right buddy, that’s why we should ban privileged kids from competitive sports: their wealth gives them access to better equipment, coaching, sparring partners, free time. it’s just unfair to the rest!
For me, sports is like religion. As in, if you take it seriously enough that you start bullying whole groups of people over it, you need to be put in time out.
Never thought about it like that but youre fully right. Also the sheer amount of money the people at the top of the pile extract from the people at the bottom
It’s also all full of corruption, especially the international sports
You also have the extremists who hate you if you like something different.
At the same time, just like religion, some zealot-on-zealot violence is to be expected and there isn’t much anyone can do about it.
How about “no bullies. Period.”
