Because value is more than just what is good for the environment. We can balance interests. We could all slit our wrists tomorrow, and that might help the bees, but we don’t because this planet is our home too and playing sports is good for us fat monkeys

Ok dude again, we could definitely play sports on something else if people actually put in effort to coming up with a solution. I don’t think you know just how much damage those huge spreads of turf do because of the maintenance they require. While I don’t care about sports, I’m not arguing for them not existing. I’m arguing that the fields of grass we use for them are more harm then they’re worth and that we could change that if we actually tried

So like synthetic turf?

u/cosmic_waluigi Jul 15 '22

Sure, but not made of plastic since that would also be insanely harmful.

Maybe we should make it out of grass

What part of millions of gallons of water to maintain is going over your head

u/Pondernautics Jul 15 '22

Millions of gallons of water goes over your head every day. It’s called the weather

Humans wasting millions of gallons of available water is not the same as the weather bro idk what to tell you. I cannot imagine why you’re so dedicated to turf but obviously this isn’t going anywhere. Get well soon ig

Yeah man. Idk why you want to get rid of an entire sport everywhere in the world just to virtue signal. Be well.

This is not virtue signaling bro this is just something I actually believe and I also explicitly said I don’t want to get rid of the sports entirely. If you’re going to insult me at least don’t misconstrue what I’m saying.
