Just prefacing this by saying I am not making a funny ironic post at all, I am dead serious.

Am I wrong in thinking even the highest paid sportsmen are part of the proletariat? They are effectively using their bodies for their employers to generate capital, in some cases having to risk their lives (boxing, rugby, NFL, extreme sports), whilst those employers effectively do nothing but manage the capital these athletes generate and get the majority of the money. Yes many athletes are multimilionairres, but they are the people that make effectivelty most of the money for the multi-billion pound (or dollar or euro) businesses to function.

It's quite shit right now but ngl I wouldn't want to live in America either. There are some things I value that we have here which is why it's ever more of a shame it's going down the shitter.
