How much has america lost it's mind about sports in the past few deacdes?

[donttread]

We've got a coach with a 100,000,000.00 contract a broadcaster who wants 10 million a year and NBA player with his own show on which he likens NFL owners ( who payout what a couple of hundred million a year in salaries and benefits) to slave owners.
A quarterback who travels with a PT and another who makes 20 plus million a year despite only 8 or so professional starts. An NFL that spends millions related to brain injuries and hypes their attempts to combat them while not fully banning deliberate head to head contact.
Grown ass adults who play "fantasy sports."
High school kids being pushed through classes so they could remain eligible for sports and fans who lose their minds over a HS victory when they don't even know any players! I believe fake scholarships for people who may never have even played that particular sport were involved in the college admissions sting.
Long ago we were warned that money would ruin sports and now we are full of an industry that doesn't seem to realize that you can't milk a goose any harder.
Where is the breaking point? Well I see far fewer kids , if any, playing sandlot sports anymore and I've been to two professional sporting contest in the past 6 months or so and didn't see many kids at either game.
Thoughts?

As long as americans keep trying to live vicariously through sports figures, movie stars etc, they are going to flourish.

Video games will be the new sports soon enough. But you are correct. We seem to need our kings and queens.

Sandlot sports are dying because the inner city kids don't want to be shot by the drug dealers.

The white majority is abandoning sports because nobody hires whites for the pros anymore and the colleges aren't giving whites sports scholarships. Especially not to white msles.

Since the Roman Gladiators it has been as it is.

Sports is now big business and kids no longer play outside anymore unless they are living in third world countries or very poor N. American cities. Sports fans with enough money and kids with athletic ability pay their way into sports hoping for scholarships at the very least.

A college sports coach recruiting players would have to be insane to recruit based on race. Jump high, run fast and over power the opponent is what they want, not all blacks regardless of ability.

It's satire. Bad satire.
