Sports is entertainment. People pay to watch them perform. Team sports you can get away with individuals being boring because others can be entertaining. Individual sports aren't really given that luxury
My job is not entertaining. My job is to make sure things work. An Amazon delivery driver's job is not entertaining. A landscapers job is not entertaining. Noone is going to say that we're boring because no one finds these kind of work entertaining
And who cares about who's real and fake on the internet? Everybody since yahoo chatrooms were popular has been LARPing online. Even those social media infouencer
I feel what your saying but this goes beyond sports and entertainment. It's in all facets of life.
Entertainment is based on who is watching. There's been delivery shows. There's an entire networks for landscaping. People like to see the jobs from start to finish, as well as some of the personality of the hosts/people of any or knowledge and or respect the skill.
Regardless there's someone out there that ain't never done it, never tried it, just armchair quarterbacking "it's not real work" "that's easy" "they get paid too much" and all other types of hating bullshyt.
Thats their right. Anyone can hate if they want.
I just listen to people. If someone is blatantly hating on something or someone I disregard their opinion. I don't keep people like that in my circle.
