Can you still enjoy sport in the GloboHomo age?

I watch the elite basketball leagues, cause I enjoy watching the best in the game and also play myself. However, I rarely watch full games, since they're time consuming and I'd rather spend the time honing my own skills or working on my physique.

That said, I don't see the your Africans vs our Africans dynamic in basketball.
Of the 4 best teams in the last world championship on France had black players. Spain, Argentina, Australia (one aboriginal) had no black dudes at all.

I do agree that soccer is pushing the narrative that all it takes is citizenship to be a true citizen of a respective country. In my opinion, it's more about sharing the same value system, which unfortunately very often is not the case with immigrants. The values lead to guys like this feeling comfortable and integrated.



Boxers like that get accepted being in a tiny minority and taking in the values. What would happen long-term with a small influx of Africans into Europe? 99% of them would have grandkids who tell stories of how they had a cool black grandfather who was a boxer - not much of a change to the core culture.

In contrast - what happens to a Europe that becomes 30% minority European? It become Haiti, Turkey, Brazil.

So that is why you can like that one African legionnaire or boxer, but have a very different feeling with an 80% African French team - especially when you know that this is just the beginning and in 50-80 years that will be the majority of the country.

And no - it's not proven in the least that France will be fine being 80% Muslim or African - there is nothing in history to show us that this will work. Quite the contrary - we have huge data available telling us that this will end Western civilization and will doom the safe smart prosperous Western countries.

So - in those things scale and strength matter - a few won't matter and can be loved, many however will be death for the West.

Sports today ? Eh, I watch 1 college team in football and 1 pro team in baseball. Not really because of the pseudo male bonding/comradrie + bread and circus it gives; but only because my grandfather watched it with me as a child growing up and that it's become more of a tradition for me

In my view UFC takes the opposite extreme. I think it is barbaric for two people to get in a ring and try to kill each other. I guess the more mainstream sports no longer provide an outlet for men, so now it’s things like UFC, or beating up the girlfriend at home.

The UFC has feminized quite a bit. They didn't have any rules when they first started - it was basically two guys beating each other up, without gloves, until someone got KO'd.

Now it's corporate, semi-homosexual, and not particularly violent. The masses want violent sports - declining societies always love violent sports - but our overlords are making sports less violent for some reason.
 
Train a combat sport. Masculine, healthy, no BS environment. Your age and physical condition doesn’t matter. No you won’t be able to hang with the 21-year-old prize fighters but who cares? Training is where you compare yourself to who you were yesterday. Not to others. And it is an excellent place to form true friendships and to find motivation to get fit and stay fit. Boxing and judo are going to be a little bit steeper in terms of physical exhaustion and wear and tear on the body. Jiu jitsu and “MMA” training are going to be more chilled out and focused on ground grappling which is (in my opinion) not only more fun, it is also a slower paced sport and easier on the old joints. But all of them are good. Why watch sports if you can play one? That’s like watching other people bang.

I like baseball but ignore all other sports.

I like the intentional pacing, and the "duel" aspect - the batter versus the pitcher. To me, this is far more fascinating and engaging than watching sweaty guys crawl all over each other. And I don't care for the sports where tons of players are constantly moving all over the place - basketball, football, soccer. I have a hard time focusing on the "action" in those sports. Baseball is "civilized" in the sense that an order set of rules dictate pretty much every action, and players have to excel within the framework on a (mostly) individual basis. But our culture has lost patience for this.

Baseball has also largely avoided SJW nonsense, at least until last week when Sports Illustrated tried to create drama around a drunken Astros staffer baiting a female reporter with whom he had a grudge. This has basically nothing to do with the game, though, and could be totally avoided by avoiding the big publications.

All the official sport organizations are just a globalist tool to manipulate people. I personally rather than watching sports prefer doing them. When I like something, I go and do it. I also enjoyed watching local football (soccer) club with friends, while having some beers and then fighting fans of the other club.

When I saw this thread, I immediately remembered Di Canio.

Watching other men play sports is like watching other dudes fuck girls. In other words, it's just another form of porn. Voyeurism. How many of these sports "fans" are actually sports players themselves? Seems like most of these guys are living vicariously through the players that they cheer on, while they themselves sip carbs on a barstool. It's quite sad, actually. Needless to say, watching sports is a complete waste of time - time that should be spent playing the desired sport. Or at the very least being productively engaged. Sure, it's great to be inspired by great athletes, but following their every movement is borderline insane. Sitting in front of the tube - being sedentary - watching other men - being active - is a great way to slowly erode your self-esteem and catalyze your metamorphosis into a middle aged chump.

The whole spectator culture started with Gladiators in the ancient times. I imagine it must have genuinely enthralling - nothing is more exciting than a battle where only one man makes it out alive. Someone PM me when they bring that back on the air.

When you are a teenager, you're cheering for athletes that are older/stronger than you. Therefore, your admiration is logical: i.e. they give you something to aspire to. The physical victories of the older athlete can serve as an inspirational metaphor for one's own life.

However, eventually you're a 50 year-old man cheering for some 17 year old that is not your son. It's embarrassing, really. And of course, the identity transfer is also strange: i.e. "What happened to your Steelers this weekend? Oh, my Steelers, etc.

And then, during the week, the "commentators" (i.e.Stephen A. Smith, Max Kellerman) give you the topics of your work week: i.e. Lebron's groin, Kyle Korver's white privilege, sexism in women's water polo, etc. They're not satisfied with merely destroying the Sunday game...they need to desecrate your spirit on a daily basis.

The whole thing functions as a kind of NPC drugging.

Sportsball has become the default put down for the cool kids on the internet who probably sucked at sports to begin with and are looking for payback against the jocks.

Agree with the Major. Nothing wrong with kids looking up to athletes. At a certain age it should start to feel silly.

Still, it can teach the values of strategy and not giving up and pushing past your limits to the young, not to mention the benefits of fitness which are habits that can be ingrained for life.

Why not play them yourself if you like them? Some of the best times in my life I have had wandering into a city I'd never been to and seeing how I measured up against the local basketball talent.

How is this not good, clean fun?

As long as it doesn't become an iron clad measure of your self worth, or aspect of your persona, how is it bad to go out and play some football on a nice fall afternoon?

Seriously. If you mainly do the sport yourself, or teach your kids, and only occasionally watch it, how is this a serious issue?

Had some great joy in life playing pickup basketball, some of the best times of my life, and would hate to deny that to a young person because someone on the internet called it sportsball and insinuated that you were a useful idiot for liking it.

^^ Agree.

The main focus has got to be playing the sport, learning the sport, and attending local sports events.

Probably better to take your kid to the local HS Basketball tournament to watch then to an NBA game.

Minor leagues and local athletes, are underrated. The tickets are cheaper too.

Regarding OP Question: Yes, I'm tired of sports. I had a conversation with a buddy recently whose kids are going to some pre school with some pretty gay globohomo undertones. Once we got into the conversation and it got a little much, he didn't really want to talk about it. He just wanted to talk fantasy football. My father always said sports are for kids, I agree. Yeah an adult can watch a game, enjoy a team, but when our lives revolve around it we're enslaved in some sort of adolescent state. When I was a teenager, I probably watched 10-20 hours of sports a week, now I watch about 10 - 20 minutes per week.

Yes! Local high school basketball games are the best! No one gets paid. Still the enthusiasm, awkwardness and innocence of youth.

Don't forget local Special Olympics. They are some of the most fun you will see or have.

I think watching sports in principle is fine, and ties into basic human nature. I see the parallel in theory between watching other men have sex and watching other men play sports, but I don't think it is valid. I think watching other men play sports has been part of all human history. I think even primitive societies have this sort of thing. Among other things, it's a way for society to recognize and encourage excellence.

I do agree that most modern professional sports are pushing globohomo badly, and I oppose this. However, I would be happy if they just went back to being in favor of natural human values, like family, masculinity, praise for excellence, etc. The way it was just a few decades ago.

I've never really been one for watching sports, I do enjoy X-games type sports more though. So I got a mountain bike and a dirt jumper bike and ride them. I like hockey so I got a pair of ice skates and skate sometimes, which may pick up now that its winter time and a bit cold/wet to bike now.

Like others say if you like the sport than why not join a league? Theres plently of rec leagues for about any sport you can find, two friends of mine are soccer fans and they play indoor soccer every Sunday.

What really bothers me about sports and anything homo related is that these two things are at odds with each other. Sports very much brings out the best in people because the it demands excellence from us. To excel at something requires many things, certainly things like skill, which is sadly an attribute not equally distributed. But even for the most skillful among us, sport still demands discipline, devotion...good old grit. Many times a competitors "heart" will win the day. I've been an amateur athlete before and know the sacrifices that are required to do well. The "values", and I shuttered to use that word here, of not only the homosexualists but the broader leftist ideology are not orientated to inspire excellence. They inspire the opposite. With homosexuality, it encourages giving in to urges. To succumb to one's base desires and to put this as the highest of all things. This is a function of the nihilistic culture homosexuality embraces, i.e., it is much better to enjoy the moment for that moment passes and there will never be another. This contradicts the ethos of an athlete, for among the many qualities an athlete must sacrifice many moments in order to achieve not only excellence but triumph over the competition. There is something stoic about it. The homosexual community is wrought with excess, be it drugs and most certainly sex. Irresponsible and impulsive behavior abounds here. It is not stoic. The evidence is overwhelming and such as statement of fact is further proven by the reaction it will garner from pro-homosexual supporters. Expect gnashing of teeth and venom, not because that is false, but rather because it is true. Alternatively, athletes will willingly take criticism if for no other reason than it is the truth and practically because a real athlete will use it to do better the next time. The condition of homosexuality is not a desirable condition. This is not to suggest that such people shouldn't have "rights" as outlined in the Bill of Rights and Constitution. I believe they should. But how can insisting that a small group's sexual choices should be celebrated is a right? Beyond sports, such a policy speaks to a very deep character flaw in that "community". Moreover, defiling oneself, succumbing to your impulsive desires...these are not admirable qualities any person should emulate.

MajorStyles made a great point about being a teenager compared to a 40 year old or whatever. Capitalism has ruined football/soccer, it's just boring nowadays - and I know it's ironic since I'm a United fan. Boxing is my fave sport but at least it's always been murky at best so you know what you're getting in to beforehand. I actually wanted to go pro as a younger man until I realised I wasn't good enough or brave/tough enough. Anyone who calls a pro boxer a 'coward' or other things I see online need a stern talking to.

I just can’t do it any more. As a child of the South, SEC football was practically a religion to me, and I’ve completely given it up. The reasons have all been hashed out here so I won’t beat the subject to death. These days I just watch my kids play and sometimes watch 20 year old Pride fights on video. I suppose today a Pride fight would have a drastically different meaning.
