MIM's sports reviews

Maoist Internationalist Movement

MIM's approach to sports is different than that of the various fan media outlets ranging from the Boston Globe to TV stations, where they follow individual spectator sport teams and earn advertising dollars from building hype:

1. In general, MIM opposes spectator sports. We believe the people should participate directly in their own sports instead of glorifying others passively in order to line a few capitalists' pockets while sitting around getting fat.
2. We see spectator sports as a facet of gender and professional spectator sports as pornography, a corrupted entertainment dynamic.
3. Sports fascination should be internationalist, because fascination with the capabilities of the humyn body are humyn pride, not the proper property of just one country or city. It is the exploiters and above all the imperialist exploiters who have transformed sports into a prop of provincialism.
