We also need better books and more people reading the old ones. The epic ones. The ancient stuff. The classics. Some more recent but timeless. Our shallow culture is promoting too many spiritually and intellectually destitute young men especially...
Hence the mass shootings.
It doesn’t matter what I or anyone thinks. It’s a business. If more people pay money to support it then it will grow ... if not it will shrink.
Professional Sports has become a complete turnoff for me, especially football and basketball. I enjoy watching the Little League World Series playoffs where REAL baseball is played without all the antics, circus acts, etc. I also like college baseball. College football has also become a clown circus for me.
I don’t think we need MORE professional sports if what we are seeing is an example of it.
We also need to stop teaching boys that their masculinity is solely wrapped up in sports. They need other healthy outlets or else we will continue to have epidemic of shootings.

Less major league, more local independent minor league. More fun.
More entitled, spoiled, anti-American game players? Hell NO! There is already too many valuable resources given over to these pimples on the ass of time.

I think we have plenty already. There a plenty of opportunities to watch and play. I recently watched the cornhole championship and urban axe throwing on ESPN. I couldn’t believe I was watching them, but I liked seeing “real people” doing something they were good at and enjoyed. There is something innately human about friendly physical competition. Spectator sports can be a fun and relaxing diversion. I have never gone overboard either as a player or a spectator because I have intellectual and cultural interests that are more important to me. One major problem with overemphasis on sports is that it can take away from more worthy pursuits. My brother-in-law and nephews can tell you about every college basketball game on a given weekend, but none of them have read a single book since they left college.
More professional sports? No way. More softball teams, Tai-Chi in the park, tennis tournaments, hiking clubs, 5k races, etc, yes! We Americans need to get off our collectively soft, wide, behinds, turn off ESPN and get some exercise.
There should be more encouragement for young people to participate in sports.
No. Professional sports is just a big scam to make money. And the college teams are heading in the same direction.
Hell no...we already jumped the shark with professional corn hole.
yes we need more sports teams, just not the insulting NFL!
Maybe, just possibly, the free market will determine !
Less or none. Makes no difference to me.
Definitely, we need more opiates for the masses.
There have been scattered reports that some Americans actually woke up from their stupor.
Only if it means full sponsorship for my sports-race car! ;-)
As to “Team” sports, golf, etc., nah.
we should do it for real. cities should arm up, gear up, and invade nearby cities.
do it for real.
. . . and for God’s sake, no instant replay.
Yeah, just what we need...more goons to try to tell us how horrible we are while they do their drugs and beat their wives. A piece of society that needs purging not expansion.
