        That's not to bash sports but to point out most ppl are v intelligent. It's how/where intelligence gets channelled.https://twitter.com/ChaseMadar/status/836604911831891968 …

        I think Chomsky has made this exact set of points for years. He's right, I always feel stupid talking to people who love sports.

        Because they are obviously very intelligent and capable of absorbing and analyzing large, detailed amounts of information.

        Chomsky has made that point, but sometimes it makes me wonder if our love of politics is just a consequential hobby

        Right that's the other thing, many of us do talk about politics like sports, but politics has consequences.

        @DavidKlion most people including in the media are just as dumb about sports as politics. See: Skip Bayless

        This is a fair point, actually. I'm a sports ignoramus so for all I know most sports chatter is stupid & wrong

        Chomsky has often made the same point. But that same intelligence also shows most people that they are unable to affect govt.
