Kinda weird hearing complaints about "sportsball" from literally some of the same folk who were insisting that an insulting term for llms was at least bigotry-adjacent a week or two back.
Absolutely fight the gender police, the IOC is corrupt and friendly to authoritarians, always has been (check out the People's Olympiad), but I don't think it's helpful or necessary to deride a pastime enjoyed by at least the plurality of humans in so doing.

@donaldball I guess I can't describe to you then how sick I used to get of sports. I only have one housemate now — my wife — so it's a lot better. But I used to be able to feel the house shake on the second floor from my housemates celebrating a win on the first. And if I left the house to, say, go to a bar, guess what was going on? Maybe you're right. But maybe sports shouldn't have such a big piece of public discourse either. & I can guarantee you some people get sick of it.
