Is it normal to hate athletes

Is it normal to hate anyone who plays a sport? Mostly football and baseball though. I think its because they make fun of gamers, which i don't understand. Both are useless and will get you no where in lif unless your extremely good at it. Anyways, do is it normal to hate them just because they play a sport on a team? (recreational sports with friends is fine by me)

    I'm a girl and i have played sports my while life. Getting onto varsity swim as a freshman and qualifying for junior olympics meant everything to me. I worked hard to get there. I don't consider myself snobby and I try my best to give ppl the benefit of the doubt. I don't talk trash on ppl behind their backs and I don't make fun of ppl except in joking ways. My cousin who I am close to doesn't play sports. He played videogames. And I respect that because I suck at tht stuff. Just like I had to practice to get where I am at he did too. He always beats me in halo or whatever. You shouldn't hate ppl for something like that. Yes there r jocks who do this but not all. Don't judge please

    I wish professional athletes didn't get paid so much to do whatever they do. It's insane. Meanwhile, teachers, scientists, cops, and firefighters get paid jack shit for having real learned skills and saving lives. They're usually so dumb, too. I've dated many football players, but I just can't stand how they cannot have a decent conversation without talking about their sport.

      This is this is the reason many people hate sports. Most of them become full of themselves and treat everybody else like shit. Of course, there are people who play sports that don't become assholes...

    Pro sports athletes are treated as heroes when they don't do anything important for the world

      That's bullshit. There are many football players in the NFL who do give back to the community. ANd raise charities. For one example. Breast cancer awareness month. So many football players wear pink because they have sent money to that.

    Pro sports athletes get massive salaries for playing all day. Waste of money.

    I'm like a mixture haha I love to do both. and "Lol" your retarded, do you honestly think that very many people get paid to play sports? Maybe like one in a million, so baseball for most = $0. Not that gaming is any different, but don't be so ignorant.

  • Thats like saying you hate someone because they are enjoying their hobby. Even if your unlikely to make lots of money there's no reason to not do something you like. With your thinking everyone would just sit at home all day being depressed because they didn't go find something to enjoy. Do you expect people to not have things to enjoy just because it doesn't make them money?

    I hate athletes because they get paid a lot just to run around a stupid ball or whatever they use on their sport!
    You have jobs that contribute more to society, like Police, Firefighter, Doctor, etc.
    And they get a shitty pay, its no fair!
    And their stupid high salaries are one of the reasons we are in this crisis in the first place!

    Playing sports is important for development in manyy... e.g. social skills. To add, people who play sports in University are more likely to graduate and do well in life even if they don't do fantastic in academics. :/

    None of my sports mates make fun of people playing video games. I play video games and play a team sport... maybe they just don't like you.

    And then they injure themselves and can never play again. Ironic.

    I enjoy some sports. But I don't enjoy the media frenzy that surrounds many of them. Some athletes deserve the attention and praise, not a six figure salary.
