Thousands of jobs are made, scholarships are funded for individuals who wouldn't have a chance at college otherwise, and there are innumerable ways entertainment benefits social welfare. Maybe some kid who got a chance to go to college through an NCAA scholarship will someday work in cancer research.
But he probably won't.

You can always go to college. You don't need a scholarship, and you don't deserve a scholarship. Giving someone a free ride to college, just because they can play with balls really well, sounds like the biggest fucking joke ever. No, that's a reason to hate sports even more. These people don't deserve scholarships.

And how much of this shit could be replaced by making a sport out of some stuff that actually gets some shit done? Why don't we make a sport out of who can feed the most needy people? Or who can build the most houses? Who can write the best research paper? Why don't we have a multi-billion dollar industry for that?

Because it's not entertaining enough. Instead we have... how far can you kick a ball across a field, and... how many times you can stuff a ball into a net. That's "entertainment." We are so shallow and vapid.

I don't get why you think there's no room for anything else in life except for shit that will make a meaningful impact in the world

It's not like people who spends money on game tickets or a shirt automatically hate people with cancer

What is wrong with entertainment exactly?

-People have to work at least 5 times as hard to get an athletic scholarship than they do for an academic scholarship.
-Athletic scholarships actually bring revenue to the university unlike academic scholarships.

Are you proud that I actually knew this had to do with sports and even basketball in particular?

Yes I am!

Nothing--I obviously indulge in various forms of entertainment myself, but I don't pretend as though I'm doing anything other than wasting time. That's all I want people to admit--that they're wasting time.

This "time spent enjoyed is not time wasted" meme is just a feel-good platitude. There's no actual truth in it, unless you're some kind of ridiculous nihilist or hedonist.

Semi dominate. They're a 4 seed, but very underseeded. Should have been a 2 or 3.

When I say accomplishment, I mean accomplishment. As in, "humanity is better of now that we've done this."

Are you implying that humanity isn't fundamentally made better as a species for every grand slam dunk we make?
