It seems there is a whole cultural american background to the term “sports” that I just dont get so I will just repeat what my friend said the other day:

“If you arent yearning for Marcelo Bielsa to coach your team you are a fascist”

Some of y'all never witnessed student athletes get preferential treatment from teachers and administrators while those same students bullied you and it shows.

This actually doesn't even match my experience that well (teachers usually liked me, in highschool at least, and not all my bullies were athletes and in fact some jocks were rather nice to me) but I have heard horror stories from my friends at schools that sucked a lot more about stuff like this.

Is it necessarily rational to let out the aggression from that bullying trauma on sports in general? No not really. Is having some irrational opinions because of your bullying trauma kind of understandable? Yes. Is bullying trauma real trauma that the internet often treats as something petty that you should "just get over"? Also yes.
