Absolutism is never a good thing (ironically), but you are echoing a tired narrative that seeks to undermine objective moral good by making a false equivalence.

Treating people with respect is a good thing.

Helping those in need is a good thing.

Ensuring a fair chance whenever possible is a good thing.

I could go on and on, but I think you know which side of the aisle I stand on.

I hate sports for the very reason you describe, but my objection to people who hold opposing views to me is grounded in an understanding of an intrinsic respect and value of humanity, not some ra-ra us vs. them mentality. I'm more than happy to welcome someone with opposing views if it seems they genuinely wish the best for others in their views. But on asking how they might right the wrongs of this world, their answers usually come down to "tough shit."
