Washington Post Wrote a Nonsense Column About How We Don't Need Sports and Twitter Roasted Them

There have been plenty of hot takes surrounding the sports world during the COVID-19 pandemic and the related shutdowns. Yet a recent one from Norman Chad published in The Washington Post takes the cake as the hottest of all.

Chad wrote a wild column suggesting that the world doesn't need more sports, but instead...less! He ends with a quote of: "Here’s an interesting thought: How about binge-reading?"

Yeah, how 'bout it? Clearly, only one thing at a time is possible.

The entire column is a painful read, and goes as far to cite the way European families used to spend their nights throughout history. Luckily, this terrible take was roasted widely on Twitter.

How does something like this even get published? Chad's writing comes off as mocking toward sports fans and has no real basis in reality, other than his apparent opinion that people who enjoy sports are maniacs.

Once again, this was posted in the sports section of the historic news outlet. Following Chad's advice would mean that part of the paper may as well shut down so we can all focus on other things in life.

Chad is clearly bitter toward the entire sporting world, and wrote about his thoughts on one of the biggest platforms in the country. Everyone is entitled to their opinions, yet this being published in a sports section is comical, and makes everyone involved look foolish.
