[quote=@Heat] What an ignorant thing to say. You can say the idiotic spew about any other form of entertainment, not just the Super Bowl or major league sports. 'I think we just need to get rid of Hollywood films and erase that shit entirely.' 'I think we just need to get rid of Game of Thrones and erase that shit entirely.' 'I think we just need to get rid of video games and erase that shit entirely.' Y'know, cuz they're not 'important things' like politics? [/quote] Last I checked, Hollywood/EA/GRRM didn't require cities to build multimillion if not billion dollar massive fuck stadiums to get a taste of the entertainment. And its not just one stadium either, some sports cannot share a playing field by design (good luck playing soccer on a ice hockey rink or using a football field for basketball). I find it hard to believe that a netflex subscription or a movie ticket or a gaming computer will ever come close to that of the price and upkeep of a sportsball team. Not to mention that all three of those things you mentioned, aren't funded and supported by governments. Cities and states pour thousands if not millions of dollars into these things instead of putting it somewhere like, I dunno, education, social welfare, infrastructure, hospitals, law enforcement. I can't imagine that having a 5 different sports teams would be better than getting homeless people off the street or ensuring kids get a decent education. Ever hear the term "bread and circus"? To me, sportsball is just that in modern times, only there's five circuses and not enough bread.
