American football and baseball are an Anheuser-Busch InBev psyop to normalize getting regularly drunk because those sports are otherwise unwatchable (hexbear.net)

No. Sports is not where America's problem is. The US is absurdly evil and violent when it comes to pretty much anything else, but at sporting events you actually look restrained and pretty chill.

Nah lol. Americans will not only flip cars and set shit on fire when their team loses the superbowl, but the same people who do that kind of shit will complain when BLM does the same shit because the cops murdered someone. And setting aside fan rowdiness, American sports are incredibly exploitative of the players, cheerleaders, workers etc. Stadiums are huge drains on the public funds of the cities that build them. I could go on. American professional sports are a torment nexus.
