Funny how you guys have latched onto Gaza like shit on velcro, but have not had a single thing to say about Sudan, Myanmar, and the Uighur's being ethnically cleansed.

You just found a hot button cause to latch onto, and are trying to sound morally superior to people.

The other issue that you forgot to mention is a lot of red states take their homeless people and send them to California.

I live in LA. I've been threatened by people who are homeless. Multiple times. Yes, these people deserve help. But there's a billion reasons why our current system isn't working and part of that is the state can't institutionalize these people to get them clean from drugs and to help start them on the pathway to being a productive citizen again.

I live in the Miracle Mile area, and I do not give a shit about someones 'right' to camp on the sidewalk with a huge ass tent that smells of shit. Sorry, but that's a public health hazard.

Do I want people to get help? Absolutely. Do I think that people who live in these areas also deserve to live in a safe and clean environment? Absolutely.

Something has to be done, at least Gavin is trying things.

It's amazing isn't it?

These people have such moral purity that they abstain from voting and... help hurt fucking children.

They, in their inaction, are as responsible for the current situation as the republicans are.

This is false though.

One side is bad, the other side has some people who are bad.

That is not the same thing.

HA. So something that harms no one but the players, who voluntarily play said games, is bad.

Dude, I played 2 sports in college, and got the privilege to tryout professionally for sports. Nothing about me is generic. What I can see from this conversation is you have some deep seated psychological hatred towards sports, and people who enjoy them.

I'd recommend you talk to a professional so this doesn't keep eating at you.

Lol sure thing tech bro.

People have a right to leisure activities. You belittling them just makes you look petty.

Are people going to watch the refs? They sure as hell aren't getting paid the big bucks, most of them do it part time.

Coaches make money, but again, it's a fraction of total revenue.

I find it funny you're literally attacking 'the workers' in this case, just because it's athletes and not traditional workers.

I still regularly play baseball and ice hockey. I do martial arts as part of my job (I work in stunts in LA), and I love going hiking and staying healthy.

But sure, watching people actually do things with their body and playing a game somehow is just a foreign fucking concept to people on this site.

Would you rather people watch video game competitions or something in their spare time?

[–] AnalogNotDigital@lemmy.wtf 2 points 1 month ago (7 children)

Lmao.

It only looks easy because you clearly have never spent a single second trying to understand it. What would you rather people do? Watch skinny kids with vitamin D deficiencies play video games? 🤣

It's significantly lower than other types of workers.

There are less than 1700 players in the NFL for all the teams. The NFLs revenue for last year was 24 billion dollars.

Total salaries for the NFL is like 5.x billion dollars, and in addition to that, the players are the sole revenue generating force in the league.

So yeah, even at their insane salaries they're still underpaid!

Lmao. Sure thing bud.

It seems like the tabletop wargaming groups are really dead, so I feel you on this, haha.
