RE: To My Anarchist Friends: Why do You Hate Sports?
I have sort of noticed this too. I feel like I can't really post things about sports. I feel like it won't get any attention on here.

As an anarchist, it's such an odd thing to be opposed to. It really makes no sense to be opposed to athletic competitions - especially when the participants willingly choose to engage in it. I would seriously like to know where the harm is and how this equates to an extorting, kidnapping, murderous state. Quite frankly, it's absolutely ridiculous to make the comparison.
OK, so fans watch the competitions and want a particular person or team to win. Who cares? They're still not harming anyone. And the ones who do should be properly handled. It's still not a statist issue, though. Some anarchists, man...trying to find a contentious issue where it really doesn't exist.
