Naah,
Sport sucks and Gerry's workerist defence cuts no ice with me.
Here in Nottingham UK one of the local teams, Nottingham Forest, is up for
sale and folks are getting upset about the fact that the team is a
commodity.
So be it!
As Freddy Jameson puts it (and this is perhaps my defence) late capitalism
has colonised the last vestiges of the 'natural' and sport was never that
anyway.

More seriously, where would sport be in a post capitalist society?

Russ.
