It’s Only a Game 0

Bertolt Brecht said

Great sport begins at a point where it has ceased to be healthy.

Perhaps he was talking about big-time football:

A Michigan native who has lived in Philadelphia for two years says he was harassed and beaten unconscious by a group of Eagles fans outside Lincoln Financial Field after the Eagles’ 34-20 victory over the Detroit Lions on Sunday.

Follow the link. The story has, as the folks who want to appear street-wise say, “cred.”

And don’t blame this on Philadelphia. It happens all over. If you must blame anyone, blame the hypesters.

This is big-time sports, the circuses (of the famous “bread and circuses,” but without the bread) for the 99%.

The corruption of big-time football infects everything it touches.
