I can’t believe people don’t see what a scam pro sports is. From legalized gambling to replay being used to change outcomes. Not to mention the political propaganda spread though pro sports. Your thoughts?

Bread and circuses
I haven’t closely followed any team sports since before COVID, so I don’t dig into stats or keep up with game outcomes. It’s been years since I filled out a March Madness bracket. I’ll occasionally watch games with friends, mostly just to hang out and enjoy the company.
I do still enjoy MMA and boxing.

money laundering again

Millions of dollars a week just on wages for the squad...

You’ve cracked the whole thing wide open! Nothing gets past Inspector Jeff ;D

How about the hat conspiracy?
$40 in the MLB store for a baseball hat that cost $2 to make.

I agree completely. One of many reasons I have always disliked sports.

Only morons watch sports

No amount of money matters to these morons as most are broke shortly after they retire from the sport.

Good thing bodybuilding isn’t a sport or else this thread would’ve blown up in the OP’s face

I'll take that. I love watching sports. I loved playing sports, I loved coaching, seeing my son play, helping college kids get go to the pros and seeing what it takes to get there.
On the opposite side of that, I absolutely hate NIL in college sports and takes away from almost any incentive to play in the pro leagues.

It's entertainment. If you enjoy it then count yourself lucky that you have found something you can enjoy.
If you take it too seriously and it makes you emotional then you probably need to step away

Of course it's a scam.
Unfortunately boxing has become among the worst with blatantly biased officiating.
But football, basketball, and to some extent baseball and hockey too. But Football and basketball are insufferable. I can't stand the athletes, the owners, the TV networks, the commercials and the refereeing... BUT most of all the fans suck donkey dick.
These people are the worst- generally speaking- but you know the fans whose girlfriends suddenly act like they give a shit about any of it, the fans who wear the jersey of their favorite team and the name of ANOTHER grown man on their back! The fans who paint their face, the fan who will argue to the point of fighting - just get sooo fucking pissed that they're willing to risk it all over which team has the best X or Y and never realize that none of those players give a FUCK about them.
Go to the arena or stadium and get absolutely gouged for crappy food and pisswater beer. 15$ for a mug of budweiser. 75$ for a T-shirt, God knows what for a jersey. Not only do the athletes not give a fuck about their fans, the organizations absolutely FLEECE their fans with their prices of all their fucking junk. To say nothing of the ticket prices and parking prices.
Lastly, the athletes. Once they sign their contract they don't give a shit. It becomes a job. A 9-5 nothing more. They care about making money and blowing money than working hard.

NIL I guess by itself wouldn’t be terrible, if not for the transfer portal being a thing now. Shit, they don’t even have to recruit from high schools anymore they can just poach from other schools and get them the very next season.

So sad.
