My treat is lecturing others on why their treat consumption is bad. And cocaine, I really really love cocaine.

I actually like sports and no sports are not bourgeoisie touch some grass

[-] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 7 points 9 months ago

Sports are great, save for golf and American football. But billion (or trillion?) dollar sports franchises and the whole slew of evil things they do is super valid. Hell, I love fencing and a little bit of soccer myself, even if I've usually just contented myself with solo distance runs.

I used to love cocaine, but it wasn't edgy enough so I started doing meth.

Replace american football with actual football already

Hey now! I like American Football. It brings joy to millions of Americans and to the players lucky enough to get paid to do it and not have catastrophic brain damage.

Plenty of things cause brain damage. Most Zs and Millenials on the left support the legalization of drugs.

War causes much more brain damage and mental problems than football and we have far more soldiers than football players. Abolish war!

I don't see how it's any more damaging to athlete's bodies than most other sports, it's just particularly harmful to the brain.

And hockey. Don't know if it also causes brain damage, but ban it anyway because it is embarrassing to watch 40 year old men beat each other with sticks because they scored too many goals or something stupid like that.
