Woman X:
The obsession with Olympic success undermines the goal of cooperative, participatory sport. <-- true
Me:
@Woman X: Co-operation and "participation" is something kids do to test the waters before trying to win. It's complete BS to want that in an event that is set out as a series of COMPETITIONS. Winning is what matters.
Me: "In any case, the nature of competition... only a tiny fraction can end up ultimate winners." - SO? That's the POINT!
Woman X:
@Me THAT IS CAPITALISM. that is inequality. that is human suffering. mega events matter. they magnify inequalities.
@Me oh my god get out of my feed and my life
