    my unpopular opinion is that they are a waste of time and effort.

    Let’s go further and remove Soccer, American Football, Basketball, Hockey and other sports.

    All of that is IMO a waste of time, with no value /s

      We really should. Sports aren’t only a waste of time, they’re a waste of money, too. It infuriates me that taxpayer money is used to build stadiums.

        Because it’s generally fun to watch people be really good at stuff. The competition aspect of it creates stories that people get invested in too
