To me, it seems as though Les is taking a very sardonic stance on this song...I could be wrong though. Perhaps he is saying that we put too much stock and money into pro athletes and that it will be the death of us, hence, "Extinction Burst"?

Thats a good take, like how we worship athletes and even competitive eaters lol
