Whenever my trans friends hear about a cis person with ANY hobby they’re always like “oh yeah they’re gonna be coming out any day now”.

What do only trans people have hobbies?

    Great comment. Football teams formed as workers’ rec teams in many Western Eruopean countries, and simply became a reflection of the surrounding cultural milieu and material conditions.

      For over decades the second largest sport in america was the amateur college football conferences which are now professional

      Similar working class sports leagues used to exist in America but they all died probably like, 80 or so years ago.

      The MLB and NFL were truly revolutionary in their tactics and ability to demolish the competition and monopolize a country the size of a continent.

      There used to be dozens of baseball leagues for instance, separated by prestige, class, region, and race

      They’re all gone now
