    If people are dumb enough to gather around and watch people kick a ball around AND pay anything for that privilige, they are dumb enough to travel anywhere and pay more money.

    US is a stupid shit hole because of stupid people, and watching people play kick ball just drives home how stupid people are.

    There is no hope.

    Edit: I should be more clear: its the weird “rally around MY team, emotionally attached”. You don’t have a team it’s just billionaires investing in a circus. It’s not the athleticism or even watching that part I am criticising. It’s the same with politics, religion, and sports.

      I love watching sports but I don’t love paying $100 per ticket (on the low end) in a publicly funded stadium where somehow the billionaire owner gets $98 of that. Sports fans are crazy.
