Yep. RIP

I think its the exact opposite actually

Why?

were there sports fans in ancient times? something tells me they are a modern invention.

I may be badly educated but at least I'm alive.

Well, first, saying someone is "badly educated" is a complete "meme". Rockefeller, Edison, Bell, etc all had minimal education, and yet I'd consider them greater than someone today with a Harvard degree

Sports, politics, and religion have been the primary education for aristocrats since....well, the dawn of time. Babylonian murals of lion hunts date back to 1000 BC. Every ruler needs to understand how to rule. Religion was always the driving factor behind most human movements in history.


Which begs the question, what the fuck does he consider the passions of the "goodly educated"? Loathing, ignorance, and skepticism?

Yes, there were. Why would you think differently? One of the biggest revolts in Byzantium was after a sports game

You've heard of the Olympics right? The first one was in 776BC.

Sports, politics and religion were the most important things to the ancients.

Nice anecdotes fellas but the quote is still true.

I don't think you know what "anecdote" nor "truth" means. A fat 21st century American's opinion on what makes someone 'badly education' is probably the least valuable source of truth you could find
