The halftime show has always been an opportunity for a major musical act to send whatever message they can fit in to a huge portion of America.
But yes, the game itself is destroying the bodies and minds of players and hopeful players (of whom the most committed tend to be poor and racialized). It’s not nearly enough better than boxing. I don’t really care for any sports, but baseball and basketball seem to be the least horrible (basketball has the ncaa issues though, and really needs a minor league instead). Soccer/football is also good except for heading the ball too much can result in inventing Posadism.
Strong disagree on football (soccer). Because of it’s popularity and influence it gets away with being the most disgustingly corrupt sport there is. FIFA is organizing championships in stadiums build with slave labor. They gave a peace prize to a fascist just to make sure nothing will stop them from gauging ticket prices. Overall: 🤮
Then again, I also don’t really care about sports :) Definitely not professional ones. It all gets ugly once money is involved.
Oh absolutely, but soccer isn’t killing the players is what I meant. Though I also was thinking of MLS not FIFA. Sorry, I can be a bit American sometimes
