I never understood the canonization of athletes in our society. It doesn't make sense to me, whether it's high school, college, the Olympics or professional sports. What great thing are they contributing to society by playing a game or engaging in a competition?

Of course you didn't, what sport did you ever excel in and wished you could have been a legitimate participant?

There's more to life than politics, bro.
