But it's OK, Jon Stewart thinks the studies don't exist.

You find what you seek. That's bad science and you know it.
You're approaching health science from the same epistemological stance as you would old school physics. This is not how it works. That's not what health science is for.
That there are endless examples of horrifying bullshit is a function of
inequality. Something health science is compelled incorporate in its findings, in how these findings are applied to practice. That you expect different is a function of
privilege.
It's not like institutions are oblivious to all that goes wrong, all that gets pushed too far or taken the wrong way. But we don't have the luxury of sorting it all out. The next pile-on is already on the horizon.
But I get it, your ignorance is as good as anyone's knowledge, you won't give up the fight until sport is fair.
