We should totally spend billions of dollars on a pointless sport while neglecting the hundreds of millions of people who are suffering.
Why is selfishness such a rampant disease in society? Human greed can easily be eradicated with intelligence and compassion. People have way more than they need, and we easily have enough in this world to ensure that everyone is housed and has water and food. The very basic needs to even survive.
