Thanks for confirming your lack of historical knowledge of how and why competitive sports, and especially team sports, were initially conceived, and who organized and supported them for the last several thousand years.
Here's a hint: Military training.![]()
Nope. That's nonsense. That's been the case in some situations, but there's no evidence that that's "why sports was initially conceived" (that's completely unknown, as we only have evidence for the existence of the earliest sports we know of, not the reasoning for their creation) nor is the military "who supported them for the past several thousand years" (unless you think the ancient Greeks and Romans are the only people who participated in sports in world history).
And even if that were true, which it isn't, that has no bearing on professional sports today in the US, which is not about military training nor is it supported by, or organized by, the military.
Feel free to try again. Maybe enlighten us as to what Q thinks about sports.
