of course they are a major distraction.

but everyone has a major distraction in their lives.

some people's sports is politics. some people's sports are tv shows.

It was an example, not meant to be taken literally. There's nothing wrong with being a passionate and knowledgeable fan, but many Americans are clueless about the politics that affect them.

Not sure if you were just attacking that specific example or.. ?
americans being clueless about politics isnt really because of people passionate and knowledgeable about sports

sports is a hobby, just like listening to hip hop or playing video games or programming or engineering a robot or something. people know their shyt in hobbies or their line of work

besides, politics is quite a dirty business, and on global level it usually doesnt affect you as much as local politics. to me, there are far more examples of ignorance and unawareness than politics, if you want to pick on that. thousands of intelligent, educated people who do some very important jobs have no clue about politics. it's OK.

I like sports and I tune in to watch big games and my favorite athletes, but in the grand scheme of things, this shyt is so unimportant. You got muthafukkas (prob some on this forum) talking about their favorite player signing some big contract, selling overpriced shoes, fukking some harlot with tit/ass injections, and winning or losing yet another ring--like this shyt is really some big deal. Meanwhile, these folks are living check to check, spending a decent chunk of those checks to buy those expensive-ass shoes, chasing these silly broads tryna be like their favorite athletes, and thinking winning is all about how much money you make and what you spend it on. All the while, corporations get richer, while our asses get poorer; govt passes laws in favor of corps, while our asses are left begging for a livable wage and affordable healthcare; govt goes to war for benefit of corporations, while our asses have to go die in these wars; another drone strike kills scores of innocent people, while our asses have no idea because our media doesn't report it and...blah, blah, who the fukk cares, what's the score, oh we winning, yes, life is good. :blessed::ahh:

edit: these Broncos bout to put in work tho :whoo:

Great post

Sports are entertainment and entertainment is a distraction from every day life.

Whats wrong with using sports as your main form of entertainment as opposed to movies, tv shows, music, etc...?

As sports seems to be nearing/surpassing its prime which was the early to mid 90s does it make you question why so much TMZ esque exposure its garnering. Don't get me wrong I enjoy watching my Football and Bball as the next ni66a. But with the economy not getting better. Impending WW3 set to occur in the near future. It kinda feels like Rome all over again.
Sport is derived from the word "disport" which means distraction. So no shyt nikka .
