I know I'm going to regret this but why hate sports?

Verbatim · January 29, 2015, 12:32:34 AM

never said i hate them

i just think they're dumb
and stupid
and pointless
and most importantly, expensive

in terms of money, time, energy, and pain

for what?
just to say "i win"

Fun is subjective.

Sports are a way in which we compete.
It gives us fun while competing in a semi-meaningful way.
and it's not just to say "i win" but it's also for entertainment.
The NHL, NBA etc...
It's also a more fun way to get exercise than running on a treadmill.

Right, let's review then,

for what?

Alright, I said for the fun and the trill.

Quote

But fun is subjective. And athletics are good for you since they keep you in shape, even if you do get hurt sometimes. Big deal. People recover and keep playing, because they love the sport.

So what are we talking about then, if that's not what you're talking about?

competition isn't good

"semi-meaningful"--no, it has no meaning
that's your ego talking

there's more productive and less harmful forms of entertainment

productivity

you can be in shape without playing sports

Big deal. People recover and keep playing, because they love the sport.

some people's injuries are permanent
do you realize that?

they spend months and months and months of their lives training, building their bodies
and one injury can destroy your entire career
all that they lived for

Why is competition not good?
It's a natural part of our being. Literally every human competes in some way.

That's not true. Because you can get a job in sports, become an athlete and make money.

Well sure there is. But it's entertainment nonetheless. People enjoy watching it so the NHL continues to ice hockey teams.

And you still haven't addressed how it's more fun than running on a treadmill.
Beyond weight lifting (which is also a sport) and running (which happens to be a sport) where are you supposed to get exercise?

Competition is a major part of life that everyone has to face daily. There are many who believe that cutting competition out of sports is soiling America's youth.

if it's not productive, it's not good

it's not bad
but it's not good either

you're not actually accomplishing anything

That's it?
No cardio?
Just lifting weights?

Verbatim · January 29, 2015, 01:18:23 AM

i'm not crazy on the fitness thing, okay

i just figure it wouldn't hurt to go to the gym every weekend

whatever way you exercise is fine with me, if that's what you're asking me
i just don't think sports are worth the effort

if you wanna be strong, have a better reason to be strong than just wanting your team to win the superbowl

SecondClass · January 29, 2015, 01:25:21 AM

Pleasure is the point of existence. Sports are pleasurable to some people. Duh.

I've started to train in calisthenics. I'll still train with weights every now and again but I'm focusing on being able to handle my own body weight.
