Nobody said that is. What is evil is the religion of sports in America, the cultural obsession that steamrolls public education and hollows them out, turning them into little football factories with class sizes of 50 where half of them are illiterate (whether that’s from all the money going to the coach instead of teachers, or all the concussions they are inflicting on the children). Every adult sports fanatic who spends money and goes to events and watches games contributes to this massive festering rot

in that case sportsball is not a good phrase as it doesn't come accross like that at all. It comes off as obnoxiously dismissing something because you don't like it

It's certainly is dismissing it because I don't like sports because I think people are overall too obsessed with them and it has a negative effect on society and they need to be constantly reality checked. Who the fuck cares about being obnoxious?

Your position is "Its ok to not like sports but shut the fuck up about it and keep it to yourself"

My position is "No. Sports fucking suck. I'll keep saying it until it stops being a festering rot on society that far too many people take far too seriously".

America's sport religion is a social issue that needs addressing, I refuse to just shut up about it because you like it. A lot of people think anti-capitalists or vegans are annoying and tell them to shut the fuck up about it and keep it to themselves, but they don't because it's a social issue not a personal one. Americans are fucked. They are destroying their youth by turning their schools into prison/football factories and gutting all funding elsewhere. All the money goes to sports. It's fucking evil.
