Today's Spectator Sports Culture...Distraction and Social Conformity.

Описание: Michael Cross, author of the "Freedom from Conscience" book series and host of UCY's "Unlock the Door" discusses how our modern obsession with sports is akin to the Roman Empire’s “bread and circus” psychology of distracting the energies of the masses away from the exploration of critical issues of our day. As Orwell warned, the people can be controlled much more efficiently if they are encouraged to pay more attention to corporate sports. Naturally a democracy needs participation and a population desiring to stay informed, and while there is nothing wrong with people being entertained by sports, much of our culture discourages involvement while substituting other pursuits instead (sports, celebrity gossip, etc.).
