dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

Nonsense. In a socialist society, there are both professional and mass sports, and they dialectically reinforce each other. Just look at the historical examples of the COMECON countries and Yugoslavia. Most of the problems and abuses in modern professional sports are caused by capitalism.

And professional sport in socialist countries was cringe too, with the same problems as in capitalist countries, even if less pronounced.

Why do you think so? Have you investigated this issue thoroughly?
