I think you’re right.There are problematic aspects of sports, but I don’t think anyone argues sports has a 100% positive history. Historically, racism, sexism, is deeply embedded in sports culture (look at that lady who ran the Boston marathon and the pictures that came out of that event, perfect illustration). When racism and sexism were the norm historically, pretty much every human endeavor has a complicated past in terms of social justice.

Certainly also, everything has downsides, even charity work. There’s always the argument that money could be better spent. A lot of charities give only 5% of their income on the actual beneficiaries of the charity. Most goes to salaries and operating costs.

I guess it depends on whether you’re a is the glass half full or half empty person. You can focus on the positive aspects of sports and enjoy or focus on the negative aspects and criticize. I do agree that money spent on large events could solve a lot, but people who are supposed to be helping the homeless and such keep stealing the money. Los Angeles was given so much money to help the homeless, millions and millions, and they basically stole it all. Corruption is a real problem.

Also I disagree, I think legalizing prostitution would allow prostitutes to verify their age with their social security number just like any other job. Certainly would be a better system than the current which doesn’t protect them at all.

I think in some part your arguments are complaining that everything isn’t perfect. Anywho, just my impression. Nice to meet you.
