I wasn’t aware that they’re now a nonprofit. What do they spend money on?

Do a thing because it’s the right thing to do. Or don’t. But using -isms to justify a controversial position makes my teeth hurt.

I admit that I have all alerts deactivated for the simple reason that our local agencies can’t seem to use SAME codes and I get tired of waking in the middle of the night for a thunderstorm three counties over.

If only he had found religion instead of founding a for-profit, he’d be riding high and no one would care.

Which sticks will they use to be sure that this funding actually develops charging stations rather than lining CEOs’ and bureaucrats’ pockets?

I'm not the one who brought athletics into this. I'm just following the conversation. But no, "esports" do not meet the definition of "sport."

"Sport" is defined as athletic activity, and "athlete/athletic" refers to physical exercise, agility, stamina, and strength. So no, playing a video game doesn't count.

If girls make you sweat, good for you. Sex could arguably be athletic, depending on what you get up to.

Nice work if you can get it, I guess.

Not sure if you’re an artist yourself or if your handle is meant to poke society’s nose. :)

Either way, yes, I know what art is. I also know that it is very much in the eye of the beholder. I just don’t happen to agree that playing video games rises to either an art form or a profession. But everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

“Used to”. And they also included architecture, chess, and dueling alongside other non-sport activities. They were dropped fairly early on.

I did seem to find a soft spot, didn’t I?
