Unpopular Entertainment Opinions • Page 350

Tetra is the one that brings up food and other random stuff. He won’t use the controversial food thread.

 

He doesn't want to be outshined by Mick's insane opinions. These are lukewarm by comparison.

 

That is mostly because my clothes opinions really scarred some people. They still bring them up years later.

 

No we’re still reeling from your opinions on beer and saying the OG Four Loko flavor was good

 

to be fair the jeans take is truly insane

 

Nah, miss me with those mushrooms. Texture between a veggie and a meat but not having the flavorful quality of either.

 

No one should hate watch stuff

 

Depends what hate watch means. I hate watching the Philadelphia 76ers.

 

Sports shouldn't be celebrated they way they are and no athlete should make that kind of money for playing a game

 

That’s anti-worker

 

Should actors get it for dressing up and putting on silly accents?

 

The athlete is at least producing a product. The owners are the enemy.

 

The most disgusting part of the Super Bowl is that after two teams broke their bodies for an entire match one of the billionaire owners gets the trophy. It is similar to how producers get the Oscar for best movie.

 

No

 

Nobody should have a massive degree of celebrity - says the celebrity gossip person. But rly. And I feel bad for athletes cause many are notoriously bad with money and they get CTE and stuff and their bodies become so broken. At least actors are relatively safe unless they're going ridiculously method or trying to win an oscar by having huge weight transformations or something

 

The real heros of our society are the great posters here and in the twitter thread

 

Disagree. Tyrese Maxey should get a billion

 

professional athletes have a better claim to having earned that money than almost anyone who made it any other way imo

 

Especially given the brief duration of most professional sports careers. If anything, as with most areas, the minimum salary in most leagues should go up

 

This is correct. People are paying to see LeBron James and Patrick Mahomes and whoever else that day. An entire economy of people, from food services to maintenance to security, are employed because so many fans pay to watch the games. The same goes for musical artists as well.

 

People see the high numbers and get the reality really skewed. The average career for an NFL player is three years, and then you are left with lifelong injuries and pain and almost no employability.

I hate to bring up my career again but stuff like sports or becoming a musician are a dream for so many students. Obviously the chance of success is very low, but that money is a way to bring yourself and your family out of poverty. It is predatory in many ways, but it is better than trying to trick them into joining the military or telling them to take on tens of thousands of debt for college when they are not particularly interested.

 

Also it should be said the service to their communities athletes serve, in a literal way and in the morale boosting way.

Getting CTE and fucking your knees forever so a blue collar worker in Cincinnati or wherever can forget about their shit week for a few hours and feel a sense of shared communal optimism/heartbreak with their neighbors has to be worth something. I'd argue that sports is the last meaningful positive source of community for working people this country has left.

 

why you gotta call out Bengals fans like that

 

lol I didn't want to be personal and say Tampa, so I just picked a random working class city with a football team

 

Jon Oliver has brought attention to some important issues and does a good job of explaining them, but his comedy bits are really unfunny.
