The Courage award given to Jenner was absurd - that year, there was a women's basketball player who should have won that award. She played through a brain tumor, spent most of her final months campaigning to raise awareness of the disease and ultimately died a few months after the ESPYs.

On a lighter note,

ESPN decided that the views of brainless people who watch the Kardashians were more important than honoring a girl who actually deserved the award.

Media has no fucking integrity anymore. I'm not really an avid consumer of sports entertainment (will watch the occasional Duke v Carolina basketball games and such), but this saddens me so much, especially as a kid that grew up playing travel and school sports up till end of high school.

Kids nowadays that are so involved in sports have these fucking morally indifferent fools as figureheads? Disgusting.

Makes you really think about ANY & EVERY award doesn't it?

Noble Peace Prize went to Obama - the man has been officially at war more days than any other president in U.S. history. Get this, every single day in his 8 year tenure.

In 2016 the Los Angeles Times won the Pulitzer Prize for Breaking News Reporting. Check out the title of one of the articles:

"We may never know why the San Bernardino terrorists targeted a Christmas party. Here's what we do know" LOL

[–]Popular-Culture[S] 27 ポイント28 ポイント  (4子コメント)

It's the worst business decision I've ever seen because sports fans are NOT liberal, they're conservative. Especially NFL fans.

ESPN's biggest sport (the sport they pay the most for TV rights to) is the NBA. NBA has the biggest black viewership of all sports, and black people tend to be socially conservative. They don't want transgendered Jenners and Colin Kaepernick being shoved down their throats.

They chose this, so fuck them.

[–]TheOneTrueMagnet[🍰] 8 ポイント9 ポイント  (0子コメント)

NFL fans are a cross-section of America. Even if half of them wanted progressive rhetoric, you are alienating half your customers for no reason whatsoever. The reality is that even progressive sports fans don't want to hear politics when watching sports either.

Modern media is aimed at teenage/young adult white girls. They are the demographic that spends the most money. So media execs try to appeal to what they think they will like.

If you get that demo, you're gold. It will watch the same shit over and over and keep spending. ESPN is an example of execs trying to appeal to that demo and turning off the demo that made them successful.

Women are responsible for something like 80% of consumer spending either directly or secondarily. With those numbers, 1 female viewer is worth 4 male viewers. This applies to all forms of media that are funded by advertising including the "news".

Hence the war on masculinity.

Masculinity has been under attack for quite awhile, they've gone so far as to try to teach us what masculinity is. Such as separating the bits they find useful to the bits they don't like as much, hence toxic masculinity. Keep in mind this view is already being implemented on tv and across schools. Kinda feel for the next generation.

ESPN is obsessed with "Leaning In" when it comes to the NBA, putting a female host on seemingly all of their NBA shows. Even if they know nothing about the game like Michelle Beadle. No matter if it's pre-game, half-time or a separately airing NBA show, there always has to be a female host. And of course, she has to be of the 'feminist' mold- snippy, playing favorites, trying to bluster her way through the show instead of knowing anything about the game....

[–]mgtowtrp 9 ポイント10 ポイント  (0子コメント)

ESPN sucks now. I remember when I used to turn on SportsCenter and most of the time they showed the best highlights of all of yesterday's games, which made it fun to watch. Now, the entire show is the talking heads giving their "reactions", predictions, and other worthless opinions.

I watched sports throughout childhood, paid my way through university as an athlete and still enjoy watching certain events on occasion. There is nothing wrong in my mind with those who like to watch sports in moderation and don't get fucking emotional about it. We are not robots, you cannot be maximally productive 100% of the day and do need some time to wind down, even if that means tapping into a stupid blue bill fantasy for a couple hours every Sunday. My sons will be allowed to watch sports within moderation so long as they also play the same sports. As others have alluded to, it can serve a net benefit to have a basic understanding of sports when it comes to business as it doubles as a networking ploy, and can build connections socially.

On another note, nothing says foot soldier like wearing another man's insignia. Don't wear another man's jersey. That's for women and betas.

Professional sports viewing is a lazy behavior that has no place in the life of a guy who still hasn't built his empire.

Fandom for a young man is destructive. The only time I am OK with watching sports is if you're entertaining clients with decent tickets and covering their liquor costs to butter them up to signing a bigger contract.

Fuck ESPN, let the women have their TV sets. A man is out playing sports with other men, not cheering on some guy in tights wearing a pink ribbon.

This sub has gone to absolute shit as evidenced by top comments like this and a lot of the responses. Do any of you actually discuss sexual strategy anymore or is it trying to AMOG everyone and determine what and who a man should be? If a guy enjoys watching sports who the fuck cares? It is a hobby, and everyone can choose as they please. Telling an individual they are not a man or trying to belittle someone for enjoying something they are doing freely is just hilarious and partially pathetic.

Yep. People are going to downvote you because you're crushing their blue pill lifestyle (sitting on the couch with a beer watching football), but what you say is 100% true.

Sports uses a group herd mentality that makes you feel like you're part of the team. Then you spend your money on stupid merchandise, watch their games (advertisement revenue), and become a blind follower. It's all marketing and psychology.

[–]Slut_Slayer9000 27 ポイント28 ポイント  (13子コメント)

Watching Sports is a fucking social event. 99% of guys that I know that don't give a fuck about sports can be narrowed to A. raised by a single mother, B. their father also didn't give a flying fuck about sports, or C. there were very introverted and preferred to play video games or some other introverted hobby. But more then likely its a case of the environment you grew up in. My family is uber competitive we would have family football and basketball games yearly growing up and on family holidays like thanksgiving ect. I would play sports in my free time as a child. All the guys in my family are super close so I grew up literally going on sports trips to watch our teams play in various cities. I played sports in school. Albeit now I'm not into as much, I'm too fucking busy, but I do know enough to be able to shoot the shit and have comradery with other guys who are passionate or enjoy sports. The only team I really follow is my local football franchise who every American has heard of, and most like. And every time I watch them on sunday's its some form of a social event. If you think men enjoying football is blue pill then you're fucking what's wrong with the current trend the red pill is heading towards which is mirco analyzing every single fucking thing in life, and trying to filter it through red pill philosophies then deducting whether its good or bad so you can post about it for karma, which is fucking blue pill in itself cause you have a lot more productive things you could be doing with your life right now then shitposting about how blue pill sports is.

Dad coached our little league. I played football and ran track through college. Won more than few track meets. Don't give a single fuck about sports at all. I don't care if other people do. I will drink a few beers and watch a few MMA fights but I don't follow the sport. Different people have different interests. This whole narrowly defining what is blue pill and redpill comes down to men who don't have a personal definition of what manhood is because they have no model to base it on. They have to conform to a groupthink, either bluepill, liberal, conservative or "redpill". Fortunately there are some of us who still know that the redpill is just a set

The science proves that being a fan of a team actually can lower your testosterone and destroy your motivation in other aspects of life.

True. But it can also raise your testosterone when your team wins.

BTW, the same is true for actually playing sport. Winners have elevated testosterone levels compared to losers.

[–]abdada 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Yeah it can elevate T and it can depress it. Bipolar in terms of dopamine and serotonin is researched whereas bipolar T hasn't been well enough. I don't believe in roller coastering my T.

Also, it's been shown that athletes raise T regardless of win, but winning raises it more. Same with hunters.

[–]DippedInFireAnts 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Also, it's been shown that athletes raise T regardless of win, but winning raises it more.

In the long term athletes have higher than average testosterone levels, due to exercise. But when they lose a competition they still experience a decline in testosterone. Losing an athletic contest lowers testosterone for men, although the amount varies depending on how well they played the game and their starting levels. Men with higher starting testosterone experience less of a testosterone setback after losing and are more likely to want to compete again soon.

I don't believe in roller coastering my T.

Fair enough. I do not watch sports either, and I was very involved in my youth.

There are a lot worse things you could be doing than watching sports.

The skinny fat defeated husbands who use beer & sports as an escape from their nagging post wall wife? Yeah its bad in that context.

But I think its preferable to playing video games, or smoking weed, or other worthless activities. You can't be out and about 24 hours a day. Lift, yes, approach, yes, work hard, yes, build wealth, yes, but a man needs some downtime.

I don't watch much sports in my downtime with that being said. Haven't watched the NFL voluntarily in years. NBA is a shit product full of prima donnas. MLB is really the only pro sport I watch. Then college football and college basketball.

This is a pretty large chunk of certain sports' viewership (namely the NFL), so that's why I generalized. You're right though, there are worse things you can be doing. It all comes down to balance. I've seen people have their whole week ruined because their team got knocked out of the playoffs. This is unhealthy and honestly pathetic. But at the end of the day, sports like football and basketball are masculinity at its heart, so it's not the worst thing to watch moderately.

This is the core of it. While /u/abdaba is right in saying its better to be playing than watching, if you are going to watch something on TV, better sports that actually displays masculinity and achievement than something gay and faggy like anime or some stupid movie or TV show with moonbat leftist feminist actors and actresses.

I played football in college, and put that shit on my resume. It has led to many great things. That's why I hope my college team does well. It helps with connections and networking.

The problem is that modern engineered sports of any kind are cluttered with so much marketing that it amazes me people can't see what they fall victim to. It is very, very hard to be a TV fan and NOT fall victim to the constant push for more consumerism outside of the TV show.

If you absolutely must follow a team, buy season tickets and go to the games and network with other guys there if you can. At least in person you've got a lot less pressure from the digital engineering aspects.

Agreed yet disagree. They're more or less in the same boat. Modern console, PC, and Handhold gaming is a time. However, if a guy retro games to rekindle a nostalgia-esqe experience to reconnect with some aspect of their childhood for an hour and hit the weights for three it's no issue. Same can be said for sports but when the activities become all encompassing lifestyles that's where the line gets crossed. No one should define themselves as a video gamers or a sports fans to the point where they become objects of worship. That sets one up for a world of disappointment.

None of those have real cognitive benefits except in research funded by companies that produce the consumer product.

[–]theONE843663 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (2子コメント)

Well you'll have to try that out for yourself to find out then. But basic neuroscience dictates that active entertainment > passive entertainment.

Plopping down on sofa won't even train your reaction time.

Board Games like chess have been proven to improve cognition. So if you play chess on your computer for 1hr, that is surely better than watching TV.

If you play a shooting game, that will improve your hand eye coordination and reaction time much more than trying to track the hockey puck on TV.

Or if you play 1 hour of FIFA, you'll be better off than watching TV. Me and my bros play FIFA and drink all the time than watching fucking sports on TV. We have more fucking fun doing that.

[–]abdada 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Video games, digital gaming, anything with push a button and reward is generated is totally unhealthy for dopamine sensitivity.

Playing a board game in real life is better. Playing it on an app is harmful, or can be. It can create a reinforcing behavior aka addiction.

If you get some pleasure with your friends playing video games, it's fine as long as you're earning real rewards in real life.

If all your friends are losers avoiding empire building, look closer at your beliefs.

[–]theONE843663 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

You're still not getting the argument. I did not argue whether or not video gaming was addicting or not. For the last time: The argument is watching TV vs gaming!!!

Watching TV has the same dopamine rush and reward system: except you don't even have to do do shit to get rewarded. Turn on the fucking TV, and plop down on the couch. You don't even get the cognitive benefits. Comparatively, video games > TV for the same amount of time consumed. This is not something you can debate.

It's like comparing tea and coffee. They can both be bad for you, have no effect, or even benefit you. But health wise, drinking tea is better than drinking coffee.

Now how in the fuck do you stray from the argument to postulating about my life and my circle of friends is what I do not understand.

I personally spend most of my gaming time (3-5 hr a week mostly) in project cars and asetto corsa. Also have a full sim setup. I also have a home gym and am in good health. But this isn't relevant in this argument.

I wrote a bit of a post about this on another sub. There are decades of research on how fucked up the brain gets when a person becomes a fan of another.

Over the past few years I had the unlikely opportunity to interview two retired but famous sports engineers who told me how they engineer sportscasts to engage users to consume more beer and crap food and get all emotional over guys who wear a city logo but aren't from that city.

Sports fandom is ridiculous. It's fine for children, maybe. I wouldn't want my sons to do it, though.

      I'd agree with a small edit: If you don't actively partake in said sport yourself.

      No one is going to trash Joe Rogan for watching BJJ, why? Because he himself is a big martial artists.

      However, that is different from Joe Smith, the 350 lb fatass who was a high school football player(and only high school), who cant do a sit-up or pull-up yelling at his TV every Saturday because 'his' team lost.

      [–]abdada 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (2子コメント)

      That's true IF you manage to focus on reaching athletic levels of the sport you like.

      I visited a bunch of BJJ gyms in my area to try to give a recommendation to some guys who wanted to try it out. All those guys are BJJ fanatics to the point of spending thousands of dollars a year just watching a sport and supporting some clown on stage.

      All the gyms I visited were fat guys trying to play BJJ together. I asked one of the gym owners if he had any examples of an athlete and he had to think for a minute and said "well, my trainers."

      Google these two terms since I can't link for shit from this sub: CORFing and BIRGing.

      There are hundreds if not thousands of pieces on NIH and other research websites over the years that show how detrimental these behaviors are to men (emasculating them) and to women (masculating them).

      Go to ANY BJJ gym nowadays and see what the average BJJ trainee looks like. Then go back in 6 months and see if those guys are still there.

      BJJ gyms are like any consumer high reward behavior being sold: sell them fantasies, take their money up front, and hope they give up and you keep the deposit.

      Sure there are a few ripped BJJ dudes, but do you think it was BJJ that got them ripped? Please.

      Go build your empire. Because there is no way youll improve at a certain sport without watching some pros doing their thing

      [–]abdada 6 ポイント7 ポイント  (2子コメント)

      lol, watching pros in an engineered entertainment program won't help you for shit.

      You can't watch drama movies and learn to act, either. You can't watch stand up comedians on TV and learn to properly time jokes or pull a crowd.

      You don't learn from watching, you learn from trying and failing. This is why college is so useless for men -- all you do in college is watch in a safe environment. Men who learn a trade through real work, real risk are the ones who ean real rewards.

      TV fandom is blue pill and best suited for bored housewives.

      Of course, they specifically want to highlight that kind of fear element in the emotional programming.

      The athlete doing the acting is the winner. The person watching it gets numbed to reality. Real emotions seem less...useful and worthy to seek.

      Professional sports viewing is a lazy behavior that has no place in the life of a guy who still hasn't built his empire.

      There are those that watch. There are those that do.

      Imagine the sport is "fucking your wife." Are you on top of her or are you seeing it on TV? Let that imagery sink in next time you grab for the tv remote.

      I actually am. My parties actually ban a lot of that noise and have always been a must-do for a lot of people.

      I don't, there are people who handle security and rules.

      Same is true with RSVP -- if you don't RSVP for my party, you can't come in or visit. I had an LTR who laughed off the RSVP months earlier and she was banned from it as well.

      RSVP is respect, and why bother with someone who can't follow a simple plan?

      The worst is the hiring of female sportscasters who talk in deep voices. I hate that and they know nothing about sports.

      Also, not calling him kaitlyn is wrong. He legally changed his name. I won't say she because he's a.man but Kaitlyn is his official name so I have no issue using it. Similar to Muhammad Ali, I have no trouble using it.

      Not a response to the OP (who I agree with, btw), but to the thread as a whole.

      I know I'm gonna be downvoted for this, and I really shouldn't be surprised, but, fuck guys, enough with this "too cool for school" mentality. We get it, you're involved with your more important endeavors, like researching all your bro science shit to get better gainz and become Chad, but c'mon there's nothing wrong with a man enjoying sports.

      I played sports all through high school. Still love to play whatever I can, when I can, from baseball to golf. Sports helped me with social skills, growing more confident, and kept me in shape.

      And I have always been and still am an avid follower of baseball, soccer, football, and basketball. And am I some beta blue pill bitch? No. In fact, when I watch sports on TV, I'm typically doing something else, either doing work at home or lifting, whether it be at home or at the gym. And even if I decide to spend a night or two a week spending three hours from 7-10 doing nothing but watching a baseball game, it's not going to kill me. Most people can fit that leisure time into their schedule and still work, lift, read, attend school, et al.

      There's nothing wrong with loving sports. The problem comes when you're the overweight, obsessive slob who spends his day trying to call into all the different local sports radio stations— and that's not the fault of the sports; it's the guy that has the problem.

      I don't disagree that the leagues are starting to bow down to SJW BS. It's getting harder and harder to watch the NBA and NFL for that reason imo. But baseball and golf at least still have some integrity (although, if the current commissioner gets his way he'll ruin baseball). Soccer, unfortunately, still seems to be in the domain of liberal, beta neckbeards, but, like most entertainment these days, I just kinda try to drown out the background noise and enjoy the actual product.

      I love this sub and all it's given me, but damn I sometimes I just get sick of all the pseudo intellectuals and wannabe Chads on here who think every waking second of your life that isn't spent working or fucking women has to be devoted to reading philosophy and hitting the gym.

      Noone who makes these decisions gives a flying fuck about your masculinity or femeninity you twat, all they give a shit about is the dough... and the dough is trending in that direction. The kardashians and that "caitlyn jenner" i think thats her/his name are extremely popular thats the only reason... i would bet that viewership dropped before this happened... you merely are associating with yourself also leaving the viewership. Also a true alpha whouldnt give a fuck about any of this and whould watch it because he wants to fucking watch it.

      I'm a Liberal and I am for masculinity, the media can wrong in a great number of ways, but I don't see the correlation.

      I don't subscribe to any political party, cult thinking benefits no one, but I think you are downvoted because there is nothing masculine or red pill about classifying yourself as a liberal. Also the media is wholey owned by corporations, owned by globalists, who have every interest in eliminating everything good in human life, without doing so, their agendas are at risk from violent uprising.

      Liberals actually do tend to be betas, very much so, not all liberals are betas, some are a bit misinformed in what the liberal party stands for as a whole and have just cherry picked some of the core issues they agree with, thinking that makes them a liberal.

      I'm actually curious what your 4 or 5 core beliefs of liberalism are. What exactly makes you consider yourself a liberal?

      It's all good man. Yes, you are spot on but look on the bright side.

      ESPN is doing their part to push lard ass, beer belly, beta faggots to put down the beer and stop cheering to a black box on the wall. It might just be the kick in the balls these faggots need to finally wake up and start their path to redpill.

      The ones that never wake up are the truly deplorable ones, that would not benefit from RP ideology to begin with. Yes, it sucks that these people will side with the enemy but at least the lines will be drawn and I'd rather be surrounded by self-aware individuals than mindless beer-drinking automatons.
