Sports are good for universities. Monetarily it’s easy to see why, but it’s also academically good too. Having sports teams builds a sense of community for the school that will bolster fraternizing between otherwise separate groups of people. This leads to students forming broader webs of connections than they otherwise would, which gives better outcomes after graduation since they know more things about more of the world, which is the point of going to a university.
I suppose I’m biased as I have never had any interest whatsoever in things such as soccer (football for you freedom haters), basketball, golf, etc etc. Just don’t give a fuck about them. They’re used as the circus part of the bread and circuses in todays world. I mean, look at FIFA. Dumbfucks buy that every year or two cuz they love that corporate slop because “hurrduur f00tball”. Like if you want to play football… go play it in person. Why are you doing it in a video game :|
Because not everyone shares your tastes, and the fact that it makes a fuckton of money every year reflects that.
Also, most people I know who play FIFA also play Association Football. You need to rest muscles in between workouts to train properly, and if you really like Soccer, why not keep playing it while resting?
Bad take with no argument to justify it.

Sounds like someone played sports in University
I am still in university, and don’t play sports, and am glad that my school participates in NCAA sports

People like what they like. If it brings them joy, for sure. Football fans tend to be annoying as all fuck is why I have these opinions.
