I look at "football" in America as a way for americans to express their anger to each other on things the government or the central bank is f*ckin them over with "the money printing or inflation", plus it's a great distraction from the wealth transfer that is happening.
So yeah, if you spend $10k of money you don't have to go to the super bowl instead of buying #bitcoin then, I am sorry you are an idiot.
I remember when my kid used to be little he used to have a little anger in the daycare when he feels like he is not being treated fairly so, the daycare, instead of questioning what they are doing, they ask us to teach the kid how to bang on the wall, special toys, and other things. That's exactly what I see here.

I am sorry football hurt you. Do you actually believe a bunch of poor people spent a years salary to travel to vegas and buy two tickets to the Super Bowl?
While I agree with you that fiat has completely corrupted and distorted the ethos of what sport should be and turned it into a sideshow, I think you are making a mountain out of a mole hill here. I also somewhat agree with you that sports is used as an outlet by a large portion of the masses in a non productive way. Like most things there are positives and negatives that come with sports. People who attribute their worth and accomplishments with the success of their team are probably wasting their lives. That being said sports allows for community development, social engagement, provides great lessons for kids about hard work, competition, cooperation, physical fitness.
Sports can be a tool to enrich your life or it can make you a tool of fiat machine's endless thirst for your attention. It is what you make of it.

Most of what is on TV is a distraction. Taylor Swift definitely is.
