You're right that there's real proof of work in sports, that’s why local pickup games and grassroots competition will thrive under a Bitcoin standard but the era of billion-dollar stadiums funded by debt and taxes is unsustainable.

Once corporations can’t borrow cheap fiat or lobby governments for subsidies, these mega-circuses won’t be viable. On a Bitcoin standard, only what people voluntarily value survives. That means smaller, honest venues paid in sats, not printed promises.

That’s definitely one of my main problems with it past tax funding, consumerist sponsorships, all the unnecessary advertising for things we are probably better off without, I just love soccer,all other sports too, but I’d prefer to watch most other sports on tv, I have just as much fun watching my little brothers play, but the collective atmosphere of stadium definitely builds one’s spirits.

I hope you’re right though, if you are I think we will see less playing for profit and more playing for the love of the game.

Before corporations started hijacking sports, sports were more local. You’d go see your local sports team not because they had million-dollar contracts or brand deals, but because they were part of your community.

On a Bitcoin standard, I think we go back to that more real connection. People will still play and watch for the love of the game but without the circus built on debt, subsidies, and ads for junk no one needs.

Like you said you'd have fun watching your little bothers play, I'm sure many others feel that way and it will be way better because other things like that you can see the game better and less traffic and many other things.

Agreed, I’m actually so hype for this now😂

Same here. I'm tried of all the globalist corporatism. Almost all industries will go back to the local community like music, grocery stores etc.

It's going to be tough to adapt for some people as we are not used to being part of the community, for others it will be easy but us Bitcoiners will be ready. We might even be leading the community.
