Sports is the toy department of human life.

Sports is the toy department of human life.

Summary

This quote is a concise way of expressing the idea that sports, while entertaining and enjoyable, are ultimately insignificant in the grand scheme of human existence. It suggests that sports serve as a form of entertainment and recreation, providing a temporary escape from the complexities and challenges of real life. Despite their popularity and ability to captivate audiences, sports are just a small and relatively trivial part of the broader spectrum of human experience and should not overshadow more important aspects of life.
