LSU fans would not have Alabama football to be aggrieved over though...which sounds like a positive but I'm not sure that void would be filled with anything good.

Alabama wouldn’t have a bunch of made up championships. Nick Saban would’ve been a crooked politician. AJ McCarron would own a tattoo parlor, if he doesn’t already.

Would LSU fans be better or worse off without Alabama football to hate?

A lot less women in Bama would get black eyes.

Do you think football is the source of anger in men or is it rooted in something deeper?

We’d have more world cups than Brazil and the English Premiere league would rival the Spanish and Italian leagues for second place

This is absolutely untrue. Sports “distracting” has been a big net positive for society. It’s a good outlet for young men (and women in more recent decades) for health and taking out natural competitiveness and aggression.

Notice that bigtime wars have for the most part reduced worldwide, ever since the advent of bigtime major sport in the last few decades. In the olden days war literally was “sport” for many cultures.

The argument has been made that sports are the “moral equivalent” of war and have replaced it. I do, however, wonder if sports are a net positive for society. It’s crazy to think about how much time, money, manpower, innovation, etc, are poured into games that don’t actually benefit society in any tangible way.

Apparently, Auburn fans would still be bitter and hateful. I wonder what the target of your hatred would be?

The world would not have LSU football fans. It would be such a civil place.

At least one more videographer would be alive. And some sick kids would be less sick.

Says this.

Then immediately uses someone's death as a means to troll.

I would like to see any argument that anyone else was more than marginally better.

A guy who knew both schools and fanbases well said "Alabama people are fans of Alabama football, Auburn people are fans of Auburn."

You'll never be able to wrap your little brain around that bammer, so just walk away.

But they wouldn’t be Alabama fans because there’d be no Alabama football. Maybe Alabama would be a utopia.
