Depending on the level of competing, teen athletes have been pressured to perform for the $$$ for the last 50 years, taking heroic amounts of "supplements and various medication" to combat even minor fitness problems and ensure readyness for competition.
Isn't that the point of sports? Otherwise it's just parents abusing their kids forcing them to run around in the heat for hours per day while being completely mediocre.
The point of sports is to aid physical fitness and recreation.
We'll simply get rid of professional sports and the "Olympics", it's stupid.
No sport is worth getting seriously injured or dying over, that's ridiculous.
Even if there were no professional sports most players would still be doping because they want to be competitive. If you're just looking for exercise there are other options which are cheaper and don't require you to go to a planned event. Kids would still be dying from heat stroke when they don't even want to be out there, they'll still be breaking bones and ruining joints, and they'll still be drugging themselves up to the gills even without any idealistic hopes of "going pro".
Looks like we'll just get rid of those competitions. You can play for fun.
No one would play because it's not that fun. lol
Like I said, stupid and pointless.
So basically we'll all get injected with jewRNA and act like jews.
The competition for top tier positions in sportsball have always been fierce, which as you say is the whole point, unless mediocrity becomes something worth celebrating (participating trophies for everybody!).
The consequences of this race is long known to include the possibility of (catastrophic) failing health, as i flagged as nothing new.
I had a classmate in school, who later got to play footy (soccer) at top level in a minor club in the best league.
From his earlies teens, he regularily/weekly was taking ibuprophene, paracetamol and various prescription arthritis pain medication, plus some other "performance enhancing stimulants".
In his early forties, he got a new heart valve.
It's not a wow-moment for me when hearing about severe health problems among young athletes..
The pain meds are pretty standard for most jobs, only thing specific to sports there are the stimulants.
If you want to greatly enhance your risk of heart disorders, do take ibuprophene and arthritis medication, while making that muscle work hard..
