Oh wow. So not only are they paid shitloads of money for giving nothing to society but a distraction product of a consumerist culture, they should also receive some compensation for sustaining injuries performing their hobby? My my, I wish someone had given me at leats 50 bucks for getting my finger swollen after playing guitar for hours. Oh I forgot I'm not the image base for bunches of merchandising.

Either way that is irrelevant. Miners are essential to society, elite athletes are not. My point is that a sportsman can hardly be heroic for performing his "profession" and much less when his "act of heroism" is fuel for demagogic political campaings.

I support that 200% Zealouchou. If AT LEAST the money generated by atheletes was used medical researches or this kind of thing that would bring something to society but seriously, athletes are not useful, not at all you see. Ok, they train themsleves and work, but should I pay you because you painted the wall of your house different colors? It's still a work, but it only serves them to stay healthy *when no drugs/anabolic steroïd implied*. We could live without atheletes. We could live very well.

Artists are pretty much in the same situation, but you pity them, explain why.

Why don't you explain why artists are in "pretty much the same situation"?

Not all artists have the same condition.

Either way, this is no way adresses the heroisticity of sportsmen. Lilith could easily tell you that, while she doesn't like sports that much, she does like art, feeling herself identified with artists.
