Maybe instead of engineering you should have learned how to put a ball in a basket.
>>79566858
You may as well feel envious of people who win the lottery. For every rich athlete there are tons of people who go nowhere in sports and have to settle for some shit job (or no job).

Idiots wasting money and their kids having worse long term prospects as a result. Yes, this is capitalism. Taxing people who do real work to pay for the food stamps for those FAS kids, on the other hand, is not capitalism.
>>79566858
Well, apply yourself and get something better if you want more money. Are you in shape? Have you developed a business network? Learning any skills on the side? Willing to relocate? You have options, I guarantee.
It's like they have a God-given talent that they spent nearly their entire lifetime fine-turning, and which, like it or not, is in high demand.

>>79566858
capitalism; you're working for a company that pays you as a simple employee most likely, meanwhile niggers are shooting hoops and tens of millions of people spend like $50-$100 per ticket to watch them do it. why would a nigger who entertains tens of millions of people who PAY to see him and his nigger team receive less $ than you? it makes ZERO sense in our system and you're just butthurt because you don't actually love your job.
if you were smart you'd have a job that makes you rich, but you're obviously a dumbass because you're complaining about taking a job you dislike for shit pay instead of taking a job you love despite the pay, or taking any job simply for the lucrative pay.

Those things are actually connected for me. It gets annoying to try to make small talk with people who memorized every play of the perpetual "game last night" but think it's rude to expect them to know the basics of what's going on in the political world.
>>79570031
Because they couldn't learn at the college too? Why do you morons defend these people so damn hard? Would you let them fuck your wife too
>>79569595
Sure, but it's hard to collectively organise to end pro-sport. It's a corporate financialised joke, that makes a mockery of the original spirit. Particularly football.
I understand why /pol/ hates sports. Yes, the major leagues are run by Jews and the athletes are largely minorities. And of course most of you are nonathletic fatties who were bullied by the "jocks" in school.
But supporting a sports team is a form of community. I'm from Buffalo, a city that has gone from being one of the major cities in the world during the formation of this country, to being an absolute wasteland shithole. The people here identify by the local sports teams. It's a very strong community bond. It's also a family bond. I grew up watching sports with my dad.
It's funny, because two groups of people who hate sports the most: you disgusting autists who shitpost on /pol/ all day, and your "enemies" of the radical left over on Reddit.

but i dont have to give money to sports, dirty politicians take almost half of every paycheck i make.
people talk about game of thrones, and other trashy shit that i have never seen. Its fluff talk for the blue pilled normies who do not want to engage in difficult conversations. If sports were taken away theyd talk about something else that is equally meaningless.
>>79570450
What? No. When kids get any sports related scholarships and go to college their professors are usually pressured to pass them by the higher-ups because a lot of colleges make A LOT of money with the games. So, instead of studying college players don't learn shit when they're in class and they just think they'll get into the NFL or NBA. I'm not defending anyone, I'm telling OP to laugh at the suffering of the morons that didn't take advantage of free college.

That's something I've been thinking about lately too.
But not the athletes per se because there is a lot of money involved in sports so it's not weird they get paid a lot, also they were born with the right genetics, trained a lot and are dedicated. The free market at work.
What I don't understand are all of these meme celebrities, actors, artists - especially all of the rappers, that got rich and famous by being introduced to Shlomo, who keeps promoting these worthless hacks that are only successful because they have a certain name and face, not really talents, which he can turn into a brand. These artists and rappers don't even make their own music they just hire the right people. Who keeps buying their products and seeing their movies? Why is the free market doing this?

Basically anything that isn't fast food and bullshit meant to rob you of your time and poison you. And that is how the poor will die.

Your skills aren't exploitable enough to swing advertising revenue, m8
it's not about merit, it's about monetization. you chose to pursue a skill you could monetize, alone, instead of a skill other people, with billions of dollars, could monetize for themselves.
It's not about the ball and the basket, it's about the eyes watching the ball go into the basket. those eyes attached to heads with a mind inside that likes to buy shit from the commercials
if people got a dopamine spike from watching you do engineering at your desk, and could band together as a mob to feel like something bigger and better than the other people watching their engineer do work at their desk, then you'd be in the money
but that's not how it works. the Romans built coliseums for a reason. people are angry, they want blood, and sports lets them get a little taste of war without standing up. competition is fun to watch, escapism is an evergreen market, and nobody is going to pay to watch a guy do math.
if you want a piece of that pie, buy your slice. save up some engineering bucks and become a shareholder. or go buy some drugs.
out of all the people that tried to make it to the NBA there are maybe a couple hundred players that make millions of dollars every year
there are thousands of people with engineering degrees with more graduating every year. $50k is a lot of money so be thankful.
>>79568365
What the fuck are you even talking about? Those two things aren't even remotely related. Of course anyone could have been as good as the professionals with enough practice. Sure, the level of practice it may require for some people may be near impossible; but still, practice is all it takes to become on of the greats. I had a girlfriend who use to play college basketball, and she spent literally 8 hours a day, everyday, training.

Sports has turned into a shitty spectacle. It's celebrity worship. Sports is supposed to be about having fun with other people and getting physical exercise while doing it.
How to sports:
-Get a ball and/or other sports equipment and mess around with friends.
or
-Do the same thing in a more organized local fashion and make even more friends.
How not to sports:
-Go into it trying to be a "professional athlete" because of your narcissistic desire to be a worshiped celeb.
-Watch and talk about sports endlessly without actually playing it.
-Envy raging at other people who make more money than you instead of ignoring it and acting like a little bitch.

You fell for the STEM meme. In a decent country STEM would mean something. In burgerstan entire companies that make things and need STEM left our outsourced years ago. And those still here grab every H1B visa applicant they can find.
Being intelligent, have talent, working hard is the fastest way to go no where in 'MURICA. Well, maybe 2nd fastest after becoming a drug addict.
There are three career paths in the land of fat:
1) Work for gov.
2) Work in a field protected by unions or other organizations (i.e. medicine).
3) Fuck someone over hard (i.e. real estate).
Sports isn't really a career path except for a few.
