No matter what happens in November I think we can all agree that we're not really interested in professional sports any more.
I was reading an article the other day about how sociologists suspect the decline in interest in NBA viewership is due to racism.

Like....consume this programming and continue practicing idolatry of your assigned "sports heroes" or you're racist.

The cope.

You kidding me? Nobody watches NBA anymore because it’s trash. What a reach to say racism lol! Baseball is headed that way with all of these bullshit rule changes they’re trying to make that change a game that’s been played the same way for over a hundred years. I wonder what bullshit reason they’ll come up with for that sharp decline.

Nothing relaxing about watching PDW roll a 300. Shit's like watching fireworks on the Fourth of July!

Not sure if there a more racist sport than golf.

I mean yeah there are some activities like yachting and cross-country skiing and hockey. None of those are sports. Those are just things white people do.

I'm not a huge fan of hockey, but it's definitely a sport. It meets the three main criteria:

1. An objective contest with rules and a clear winner. Swimming is a sport, diving is not.
2. The athlete plays a bigger part than the equipment in deciding the outcome of the contest. Auto racing is not a sport. Horse racing is only a sport if you're talking about the horse.
3. Performed by an athlete. NFL is a sport. ESports (I cringe even using that term) is not.

I'll give some latitude here for a specialized athlete, but the general criteria here is can you take the athlete to another sport and expect they'd perform well at an intramural type level. I'd take Lebron James for my softball team over, say, Faker.

Based on this you think about Tiger Woods and think golf might be a sport. Then you look at John Daley and think, nah...
