@Lana@beige.party Probably explains why I've always hated sports. When you're bad at sports you get abuse from the rest of the team and not picked to play next time. No chance to improve.

    @pthane@toot.wales @Lana@beige.party I mean even when the rest of the team isn't cruel, being bad sucks. You can't have any meaningful engagement in that environment.

    @pthane@toot.wales @Lana@beige.party this is a classic case of true for some but not for others. Yea, I was one of those poorly performing in sports kids who didn't get picked by the other kids, but on the other hand, I was probably bad at it because I didn't have much interest in it in the first place. For those with the motivation, there's always chance to improve.

  • @pthane@toot.wales @Lana@beige.party which shouldn't be how it is but unfortunately that's how we treat sports even with kids which makes no sense :/ sports for kids should be an opportunity to learn and grow, not "if you suck you get tacked to the bench while the other parents call for the coach's head for playing you at all"
