Mass sport is beneficial, but professional sport is not.
Nonsense. In a socialist society, there are both professional and mass sports, and they dialectically reinforce each other. Just look at the historical examples of the COMECON countries and Yugoslavia. Most of the problems and abuses in modern professional sports are caused by capitalism.
And professional sport in socialist countries was cringe too, with the same problems as in capitalist countries, even if less pronounced.
Why do you think so? Have you investigated this issue thoroughly?
sportsball is good cause I can crack open a cold one with the boys and watch something in the evening.
Yeah, as long as the sport isn’t inherently destructive to the athlete, like US football, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with pro sports leagues.
People like having teams and watching sports. That’s a service to society.
professional anything is not beneficial
Would you like to elaborate?
