Sagebrush posted:that's a contributing factor but it's not the main one. america is fatter than most first-world nations, and places like japan with highly mechanized labor have far lower obesity rates than the USA i’d say our lovely labor law/decline in work-life balance/the grinding of capitalism/lack of social safety net is also largely to blame you can track the rise in obesity along as wages stagnate since the 70s and it strongly follows poverty

though bookies had to pay out real money, whereas valve sells you worthless digital items. not saying that sports are any better. any time i watch sports on a european stream, it's all ads for Bet88.eu or whatever and US TV is draftkings and fanduel nonstop. ultimately both kinds of sports are supported by bilking morons and deplorable for essentially the same reasons. just don't be a fuckin' rube, either by blowing your money on schemes for idiots, or drinking inferior beer because it's the Official Beer of the Nashville Predators™.

Waroduce posted:I played baseball for 22 years. I started when I was 5 or 6 and it put me through college. I was on city all star teams from 7th grade through High school. I attended a top 25 program and I am supremely qualified to tell that baseball is actually bad and dumb. It is also incredibly boring and I played catcher so I was consistently involved throughout the game. I Called games but oh my god it was so soul crushingly boring. I got my first cell phone, a lovely Nokia brick, when I was young just so I could call my parents to get picked up so they didn't habe to sit there. Some people have a short attention span and can't be asked to participate in things that don't involve bright flashing colors and constant action, and that's okay. We're all capable in our own way.
