all that, and regular golf is incredibly wasteful with water. it's sickening. plus the fact that it's a historically racist as fuck sport, fuck golf, fuck golfers. Oh and they expect their neighbors to subsidize their hobby (see muni golf courses) - get fucked

Boomers when someone wants to build a playground or a skatepark: "Noooo, that's communism!"

Boomers asking the local government to subsidize their useless ass golf course: "Our community"

Roller derby?

[–] Modern_medicine_isnt@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Nice, I hadn't thought of that. Might actually not have a history of racism

[–] outhouseperilous@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 months ago

Yep. Started by punks, so late enough by cool enough people.

Oh so sports in general being chock fulla racist fuckheads makes it ok that golf courses were often segregated until the 80s?

Oh ok. Yeah.

Nah. Get fucked with that. But to answer your question, I see zero racism in curling.

[–] Modern_medicine_isnt@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Pretty sure I didn't say it made it ok. Just that it was a pointless statement because it is true of all sports that I know of.

then why did you bring it up in response sparky?

Are you asking why I made a comment sharing my thought without 100% disagreeing with OP? Cause not everything is love or hate.
