who cares about athletics?
i never heard of the 'soccer age' because no sport has ever moved our species forward. i'm definitely over here in 2026 celebrating ty cobb; without that dude i wouldn't have electricity in my house so i can watch MLB games. the only reason anyone knows the name 'ty cobb' is because his baseball card was worth so much. that's our priority beyond athletics. how much does this athlete make per year?
what's your net worth???
americans love sports so much because we devalue intellect and anything that makes us human. we even frame intellect as pretentious, like all those depictions of impenetrable silent french films and classical compositions that take a mountain of education to understand, even though both are always rooted in universal, human emotions.
