What’s a very common thing that you just cannot relate to?

i don't give a single shit about watching groups of genetically lucky individuals play sports. why we pay people millions of dollars to play ball for a living makes no sense to me at all, and the fanaticism over it baffles me. they are not connected to me or you in any real way, they do not contribute to society in any meaningful sense, and a large part of the world revolves around them simply for being born with a capable body. you'd think the workforce could use such capable bodies. you might say "but it takes so much work!" there are people who have worked way, way harder than top athletes do, even from a fitness standpoint, who will never receive the recognition of top athletes because they weren't born with a gifted body. it takes effort, sure, but it takes effort that is objectively fun in its application, and effort that is sponsored for only select people. nobody deserves to have their life made for them because they won the genetic lottery. fuck sports.
