People show up at Exxxoticon

I guess that's pivotal to social cohesion too

I guess because people party on New Years that means we have social cohesion

WAOW

If you like sports that's fine I don't care like what you like

Don't try to act like it's some social good

You're paying private corporations money for entertainment

you might as well pretend like Lion King on Ice is good for social cohesion

cope

>cope

okay sportsball lover

>I love to see fit black guys, don't you dare say anything negative about it! most of these things are institutions for the community!

>without my pro sports what would I do with my time, I might actually have to talk to people in my life about things other than entertainment!

>How am I supposed to bond with the blacks and mexicans in my neighborhood that don't speak english well and we can only connect over sporst!

Make your retarded arguments about literally anything else that has prize money and a spectator audience and see how retarded it is

>WE need jepardy for the social cohesion it provides!!

>We need to have Chess championships, look at all the people out here who are excited about it! If we don't have it you'll destroy our last institution that helps delay atomization!!!!

Bdsm clubs are essential to preserve the community

I only support that if they have Dota2 streamers playing

without the Esports what do they have to bond over?

BBC and a salad bar

AFAIK we don't subsidize stadiums for Esports, and Esports orgs pay taxes.

There's special tax code for pro sports orgs

A lot of stadiums are maintained by tax payer subsidy despite NBA, NFL, etc making millions

lets applicable for the NHL since it's the least profitable

There's a whole set of laws so the teams themselves can pay less taxes, and the parent organizations pay little to no taxes even if they're not nonprofits..

This idea that they add something socially when they extract so much from local communities

no but we need muh stadiums and muh sports team

some guy wearing the jersey for your city doen't mean anything, the corporation "representing" your city extracts from your city

doesn't matter if we have to morgage everything

We paid for the stadium here

and it went insolvent

just another way to launder money from the public and put it in the hands of corporations

at least your fucking city didn't pay for a MLS stadium

<:howdareyou:635352908107481109>

Yet somehow these sportsball players "represent" the community

genuinely wanted to tar and feather the local gov over that shit

didn't you hear @UnrelatedComa it's the last place we have social cohesion

it's the last shred of community we have

imagine being such a smooth brain you pay actual legal tender for a soccer stadium in America

these billionaire corporations...
