  • But generally, my perspective is that if people are interested in sports, they should play them themselves. I don’t know why it would be so exciting to go watch someone else play basketball or something. You should just play basketball if you like it so much.

    While I agree playing is superior and I don’t watch any sports wher I don’t personally know the players/competitors, there are plenty of people who are not able to play themselves because of age, injury, complete lack of ability, and they still want to be a part of the experience. Watching kids play is fun, as long as the competition is friendly.










  • Are all of the people qualified? Then everything past that is likely to be subjective as to what ‘more capable means’.

    If so, odds are pretty high that what the hiring person thinks are more capable are just people that fut their preconceived notions of who is likely to be more qualified. Generally that is tall, white men.

    Not to mention there is a lot more to being effective workers, like communication and collaboration. A more diverse workforce tends to increase communication and collaboration when being diverse and inclusive are goals.

    Not to mention people can grow as they get experience. So even if they aren’t the most capable at the time of hiring, they might be in a few years. And if people don’t get any experience, they will always have a disadvantage against even less capable people who have more experience. It is a feedback loop that makes even a small amount of discrimination have a mush larger effect.
