RE: Get rid of sports
I'll dress up in a rancor costume if it means I get to smash christard skull.

Kidding...kidding, of course (sort of).
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

I agree that the capitalism behind sports is out of hand, but the entertainment value and health benefits of participating is not useless.

At one time, I had serious, legitimate plans to become a professional athlete (rugby), which plans were cancelled due to a rather severe injury.

I hardly think it fair to describe sport as 'wasteful'. Worldwide, million of jobs depend on the sporting industry, both directly and indirectly. It takes people to build and maintain stadiums, to produce and market the games and equipment, and so on.

You want to ban sport? Trust me - the money spent on sport would be eclipsed in a fast minute by the money spent on quelling the riots such a ban would cause.

Ok, you win. Mighty tough to destroy such a brilliant, cogent rebuttal.
