“Don't compete! — competition is always injurious to the species, and you have plenty of resources to avoid it!”
:kropotkin-shining:
Edit: Did U Kno: If this post gets 100 upbears, all sports worldwide will be outlawed.
Sorry, but I don’t make the rules.
Edit2:
🎉WE DID IT CHAPOS! 🎉
All competition is now forbidden.
If you engage in it, please report to the nearest reeducation center immediately.
Where did I go against a specific sport?
The culture of competition fetishisization plays a big part, most definitely.
Whenever young men do something horrendous and get their wrist slapped because "they have their life ahead of them" they're almost always members in a sport.
That's one hell of a coincidence.
also a totally unfounded and unsupported claim, pretty sure rape culture exists in the military, businesses, family life, and just as a feature of a patriarchal society, not because os le sportsball
to use your own reductive and unproductive posting style... where did anyone say you did ?
How is killing other people not competition? The teams are just much larger. And the stakes are higher.
"surely the problem is the sport itself"
You're implying that I'm blaming, ahem, "the sport itself" and not a pervasive culture which elevates the status of, say, hs football players, and shields them from consequences.
see you should say "I'm infering" not "youre implying"
ok enjoy your thread
So, am I not supposed to assume you're trying to reduce my argument to being about... the sport itself, when you literally used the words "the sport itself?"
What else am I supposed to infer from that, Mr Peterson?
if what you got from this is that i meant football (which means something different to me then what you call football in america) itself and not the act/existence of sport that's on you, see how annoying it is to argue agaisnt someone who does that?
dont do it any more
Funny how you decided not to quote the line directly under it which makes it clear I was using it as an example:
It happens for members of swim teams too. Lacrosse, baseball etc. I just picked a sport, because most people are the most familiar with it exhibiting itself towards the football team.
Friday night lights for example, whose TV show did a 180 compared to the book, but that's a big digression.
How about you not imply something, refuse that you did twice, then finally admit you implied something while blaming me for being frustrating?
enjoy your thread
A little late for that now, as it's already wound down, but ok.
