No offense or judgement meant to anyone if that’s your thing (to each their own). That’s just how I see pretty much all professional sports - the super bowl is just the poster child for it.

    But the emperor isn’t paying for this circus. The plebs are. The Superbowl is not a loss-leader to keep the poors from rising up, it’s a profitable enterprise that keeps generating wealth. The money is what keeps it going, not some plan to keep people down.

    I fucking wish it were bread and circuses. Except instead of bread I’ll accept healthcare, and instead of circuses we get cable news.
