Re: What do you think of the Olympics boycott?

(Anonymous) 2013-08-12 11:53 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm trying to figure out why this post seems so unbelievably stupid to me when I really, really hate sports and think it has some good points. I think there are two ideas here:

Idea #1: Russia's treatment of LGBT people is really disgusting and we shouldn't let it slide. Maybe we can express that by boycotting the Olympics.

Idea #2: Competitive sports is an overhyped money vacuum draining resources from already under-resourced things at just about every level, from the high school library that doesn't get computers so they can redo the gym floor to a state government squeezing money out of imaginary sources to build another goddamn stadium to the public improvement projects that might have been done instead of building a World Cup facility.

My first problem with your argument is that these ideas have very little to do with each other, and I don't think tying them together does either of them any good.

Secondly, the vast majority of consumers of sports are going to laugh you off the stage when you say "sports is a cancer" and not listen to anything else you say. Anyone who agrees with you is probably effectively boycotting sports already. So what the hell good is this argument going to do?
