The comments in here are just sad. Can really tell that the Reddit refugee/Lemmy demographic has never played sports, or were probably bad at them, and thus hold bitterness towards athletes.

It's like the inverse of the popular kids at school moaning about nerds because they failed their math exam lol.

    I'm just of the opinion that if something gives out money people are more incentivised to cheat for it, so things people do for fun like sports and vim macro text editing speed competitions (on arch btw) should not be monetized

    supporting what those people do (sports: insurance, equipment cost, etc) is fine, if it's something that's needed
