That's because it is. Maybe it's an elitist, ivory tower rant but I do not approve of society's worship of physical ability. So you can hit a ball with a stick, good for you -- why should anyone care? If you want to show off your physical ability then build something, perhaps a library.

Yeah, you're trolling. And that's a kind assumption I'm making of you. The other is that you're a complete asshole.

People enjoy sports, competing in them, watching them. That's enough to justify their existence. Go shit up a tree if you can't handle people liking things you don't like.

I don't have a problem with that. What I have a problem with is being asked to pay tax dollars for it. What I have a problem with is its sheer pervasiveness in our culture.

Getting together with friends to toss a ball around is fine. Nothing wrong with that. Organized, commercialized, idolized, fetishized sports are a cancer. We hates them, Precioussss.

Although having said that, the Olympics tends to include some of the few sports I actually do enjoy watching (chiefly those like figure skating that are as much art as sport.) I don't get why they require a lavish new stadium every time they come around, though, except maybe if some host countries don't already have enough large athletic facilities to accommodate them (is there any real reason in this age of instant tellecommunications why they have to take place in just *one* city anyway?)

I don't believe you're trolling because i know some people do hold this sort of opinion serisously.

Why do people care about sports? Because it's a challenge to the human body. Much like math and music is a challenge to the human mind. It's not just about hitting a ball with a stick, much like being a musician isn't just plucking a string with your fingers.

Sports show the ways people can push and challenge themselves. The Olympics is basically just a show for it. It's not perfect, obviously, but it's not something horrific.

This is a top-notch comment.
