> All that striving for greatness is indivisible from the selfish need to inflict cruelty on your dominated foe. Take away the latter and there is no sports. It’s just exercise.
I cannot empathise with someone that has this mindset.
It seems like the author thinks that all masculinity is toxic - or, at least, that it's called "toxic" by progressives or whatever - and I would strongly disagree with this. When people use the phrase "toxic masculinity", they don't mean "masculinity (which is toxic, by the way)": they mean " the parts of masculinity that are toxic".
There's also a whole paragraph dedicated to saying that women aren't at the peak of sports excellence, and shouldn't be covered by Nike's clothing range. I don't think the author has watched any women's sports games before writing this piece.
I have plenty more issues with this writing, but I'm gonna stop here because I feel like I might be falling for a rage-bait article.
