"trans people in sports" is a pointless struggle session because the concept of "fair competition" is complete horseshit (hexbear.net)

you will never have a fair competition because all people are born different - people have differing testosterone levels, differing body builds, differing muscles mass, etc. most competitive sports are plagued with doping because hard work only takes you so far before your body hits its limit.

just let the olympics and shit be a showcase and celebration of what humans can accomplish, fuck it make doping legal as well, i wanna see how wild humans can get

Those capitalist brain worms really run deep. You're right it shouldn't be about winning or losing just having fun and bonding. I know I wouldn't mind hanging out with some comrades to play some soccer irl, if it wasn't for covid at least, or ultimate frisbee or whatever y'all play.

Were the original Greek Olympics a byproduct of capitalism?

With how similar I keep hearing Rome and the past were to now I wouldn't put it past it. Call it capitalism call it imperialism same difference. The past people didn't do things just because but because of material interests like they do now. Maybe more educated peeps here can explain but that is my hunch.

Soccer is the people's game (but other stuff is cool too)

Anything that only takes one object to play is my kind of game since I can't afford equipment.

Hell yeah that's one of the reasons why it's great.
