It’s been two years since I’ve sat in a bar in the U.S. and watched sports on ESPN. Zomg, what godawful dreck is this nonsense?
Sports in America has become completely disconnected from itself. Sports players are now NPCs that are the raw fuel for betting, flash-bang videos of bright lights and explosions, and sports jockey talking heads with 10 second attention spans.
I seriously feel like I just stepped into the Idiocracy sports desk. Golfers in indoor stadiums with blasting music and light explosions are driving against video screens. And people pay and are cheering for this crap.
Yeah, I’m an old grandpa. But American sports has become a self-parody of an industry, devoid of any sportsmen other than as vehicles for memes, advertising, or idiot announcers mimicking their moves.
For all the things that millennials were accused of killing, can we add Gens Z and Alpha and sports? Because this is an unwatchable farce for drooling mouthbreathers. A busy-box for diapered imbeciles.
