Two events this week have me writing this, which might just be a vain attempt to spew pseudo-intellectual nonsense onto the internet, at which point it will be immediately disregarded or, potentially even worse, misinterpreted. Still, I think given the way this broad cloud of discourse tends to devolve into chaotic incoherence it might be worth trying to contribute to some kind of heightened standard of what we talk about when we talk about sports. There’s likely going to be some readers of this post, either in the comments or on social media, who will disagree or have certain unfortunate reactions, but the that’s a risk I’m willing to take if it brings about more fruitful conversations or sparks new developments in the way we discuss sports, particularly on the internet.
