    Sports are good and healthy and build up the proletariat. American concussionball is... probably less so. Plus its being wrapped up in Americana gives it some serious demerit points in any sensible measure of value.

      Thats a fair assesment. I think the american propaganda aspect of it is a smaller part of the experience than it's made out to be. It's a 5 minute anthem that nobody pays attention to anymore. Using flags is global thing. My main issues are with the "support the troops" bullshit they do around the begining sometimes, the sport betting (they don't advertise booze on tv so they shouldn't advertise sports betting), and the prices. The leagues are starting to see sports betting advertising and sponsorships as a massive mistep. The NBA and MLB are looking to end partnerships. I can see the it happening with the NHL and NFL. The military shit will end when the boomers die. The prices will continue to rise cause capitalism.
