... It is a good thing to keep physically fit, or to enjoy the camaraderie of playing sports. However, there is a line that is crossed when individuals sacrifice their health and integrity, even injure others, in order to win meaningless games and medals.
... Our cultural veneration of sports "heroes" is a somewhat childish attraction to people who's lives are not actually productive or constructive- essentially irrelevant existences exclusively obsessed with hitting balls with sticks, or running really fast, etc.
