This market will resolve positively ("Yes") if sports still matter a lot to the average American on January 1, 2040.
Examples of sports mattering a lot:
- Youth spend significant amounts of time training, playing and thinking about sports
- Adults spend significant time/money watching sports or organizing social outings around sporting events
- Media dedicate content to analyze sports or use sports as a lens in which to discuss contemporary issues
- Talented athletes hold an elevated status in culture/society and earn high wages
I generally define sports as physical athletic activity but may shift this definition to consider e-sports if it makes sense in the context of 2040.
Dec 29, 1:53am: This is a subjective question but I feel that it's resolvable. I'll probably do some research on money spent on sports, the size of the sports market, etc but it'll be more of a gut feeling resolution. Are kids still seeking athletic scholarships? Are sports bars thriving on Saturday/Sunday nights? Is sports still a common language in which average Americans discuss contemporary issues? These are the kinds of questions I'll use to decide whether sports still matter a lot.
This question is managed and resolved by Manifold.
