Pliny the Younger apparently thought sports were very stupid but it's funny that it's for the exact reason laid out in Seinfeld s6e12 ("The Label Maker")
![[6] L To Calvisius.
Thave been spending all my time here among my tablets and books as quietly as I could wish.
"How is that possible," you ask, "in Rome?" Well, the Circensian games have been on, and that is a kind of spectacle which has not the slightest attraction for me. There is no novelty, no variety in it, nothing which one wants to see twice. Hence I am the more amazed that so many thousands of men * should be eager, like a pack of children, to see horses running time after time, and the charioteers bending over their cars. There might be some reason for their enthusiasm if it was the speed of the hors or the skill of the drivers that was the attraction, but it is the racing-colours which they favour, and the racing-colours that fire their love.
If, in the middle of the course and during the race itself, the colours were to be changed, their enthusiasm and partisanship would change with them, and they would suddenly desert the drivers and the horses, whom they recognise afar and whose names they shout aloud. Such is the influence and authority vested i one cheap tunic, I don't say with the common crowd, - for that is even cheaper than the tunic, - but with certain men of position; and when I consider that they can sit for so long without growing tired, looking on at such a fruitless, cheerless, and tedious sport, I really feel a sort of pleasure in the thought that what they take delight in has no charm for me. Thus it is that I have been only too glad to pass my leisure time among my books during the race-meeting, while others have been wasting their days in the most idle occupations. Farewell.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:26gfiesadzjgf44w2dv5yeo7/bafkreieap7ojlbpperccfkitgfnxrufik6wdvrgrtfa6ssdm72ihbdhwqm@jpeg)

Hey guys, Mr. ILoveOnlyMyWife here. Some of you have noticed that I haven’t been uploading as much wife-related content lately, and I think it’s time I addressed it: essentially what happened is that Mrs. ILoveOnlyMyWife and I have made the mutual decision to take some time apart

impeach this royal bitch
The Constitution makes ONE simple demand of officeholders. Like instructing Adam & Eve to lay off the fruit, the Framers said, "you may want a fancy European title but the nation's integrity demands you refuse." Alito just ignored the Constitution's command.
Sam Alito Got Knighted… Just Like The Founding Fathers EXPLICITLY MADE UNCONSTITUTIONAL
It turns out Sam Alito hates the Constitution as much as you thought he did.
