There are plenty of other forms of entertainment that provide as much or more mental and emotional enrichment than sports, but as a society, we don't put any emphasis on them, or we stigmatize them in some way.
Pretty much any music or drama student has had to endure years of being some derogatory term, only to find out that when they graduate, society expects them to starve, while athletes can get by quite easily just on former glory.
- Aelinsaar 10y agoMaybe it's just the incredibly amount of money to be made as an athlete, or from athletes? Many different people have a very real investment, and the rest have come to have a psychological investment and act as human shields.
