So I recently came across this subreddit called /r/IHateSportsball, which basically makes fun of people who feel superior to others simply because they don't like sports.
Man, the people that have the misfortune of being featured over there are delusional. It's almost like they think real life is like an American sitcom from the 80s where everyone is a stereotyped version of themselves ("you like both Baseball and D&D?! That's impossible!").
My favorite post has to be this one:

What's funny about this one is that Plato himself and his teacher Socrates were athletes, wrestlers to be exact. In fact, Plato was actually a nickname (his real name was Aristocles), meaning "broad", likely referencing his broad shoulders.
While we are at it, much of classical Greek society felt it was a person's obligation to try to "perfect" their bodies/physical appearance, as well as their minds.
