God, I really hope this doesn’t come to be. No offense to the people excited by it, and I totally get the appeal, but this would damage society so much. People taking performance enhancers, especially to extreme levels, put themselves insanely at risk medically. If this gets normalized, it’ll only be a matter of time before it becomes mainstream to bet on blowouts, heart attacks, roid rage scandals, etc. At that point, it’ll essentially be a tiny leap away from the game shows of Running Man, and then I’ll lose all faith in humanity.

I just want people to be able to compete if they use cannabis. But you’re right that it would likely devolve lol
Now THAT, I’d fucking watch. The Bowlympics. Smoke a bowl, then do your best!
I did my best!
Is it so much worse than existing, popular sports like boxing or American football which are known to cause brain damage to the athletes involved?
Probably not but that doesn’t mean we need even more dangerous and deadly sports to add to the pile.
