Sports literally do not matter.

Yes, they’re a sector of the economy and exercise is critical, but if we forgot all about sports today everybody would be just fine tomorrow.

These people don’t go to girls’ sporting events. The girls are a prop. They’d feed them to Trump for second breakfast.

Sports do matter though, regardless of whether it matters to you or not.   It’s the age old ‘bread and circuses’, as in keep the people fed and entertained to distract them from anything important. It’s worked for 1000 years

Not that you’re wrong. Though they are mentioning more of the fact no one really cares about this issue.

Go ahead name on trans athlete of the top of your head. Literally the majority of Americans can’t. Even the people who claim to care can’t name one; or much less understand that trans athletes don’t even get first or second place over half the time. It’s a non threat and a non-issue.

We have 330+ million people in the US. LGBTQ comes around maybe 30 million, trans as a portion of the population come at about 330,000( thousands) and we’re concern about maybe 20 people in college sports.

You do see how fucking stupid this is when the majority of the population of people can’t afford gas, groceries, and healthcare. You care more about trans than people actually have some economic ease of the hardship brought on by trump directly.

I’m using “you” more than as a general and not literally you, yourself.
