As much as this show host, me, loathes the National Football League, the Super Bowl is consistently one of the most internationally viewed events of mass spectacle since the moon landing.
The pentagon has spent countless millions trying to unite an increasingly polarized nation under F-15 flybys, military recruitment ploys, and the NFL’s deployment of big words like battle and sacrifice.
As President Trump says the US will take control of Gaza and reshape the Middle East, we must remember this is how it always ends - from within. The waning empire, twisted by fantastical delusions and hallucinations; consumed by lavish bread and circuses that promise that this ride can never end, combusts internally.
Join us tonight on State of Play on Mint Press News to examine how the War Machine is spent, why the National Football League is inextricably tied to Imperialism, and why the circuses cannot last forever - because there is no more bread - I will try to not let my own personal resentments toward football color my analysis of what’s going on here - even though I was forced to play if for years against my will. The most boring game - and I had a skill position (tight end) - but still anyways, if you need to hit someone Lacrosse is way more fun. But it’s a rich people sport, and football is the team sport of the masses, and it is uniquely American, though it’s slowly becoming an international sport.
