good. this country spends too much of people's money and attention on this nonsense. maybe we can make this permanent.
it is insane that one can get into a college with zero brain power just for being tall (and ncaa and co enable that). what possible use does society have for that long term?
- eden_hazard 7y agoThat's a bad way of looking at it. First of all, sports are entertaining. There's a reason why people like it. Second, no one gets there without hard work. For every kid that makes it to college basketball, there are probably hundreds of others that didn't make it even high school basketball from the under 10s.
- oxymoran 7y agoEntertainment... What use does society have for Facebook and Twitter long term? Those are far more detrimental to society than college basketball.

- sdinsn 7y ago> this country spends too much of people's money and attention on this nonsense Are you also against TV, movies, video games, reading fiction, etc.? God forbid people spend their money on entertainment. I'm not even a basketball fan, but I can recognize that your comment is absolutely ridiculous. > can get into a college with zero brain power just for being tall Basketball is a lot more than "being tall"...
