LeCharles Bentley Exposes The Superbowl Charade
[Bentley excerpt] The true fans of the game are not fiscally able to attend, nor are they really encouraged to attend. Instead they are forced to view the product they fund through a lens that has been carefully manicured to present what is intended to be seen.
It's not a coincidence that every celebrity or "somebody" attending the game is bestowed a gratuitous camera shot.
Every few minutes folks are bombarded by commercials of stuff they probably can't afford, but are told they need if they want a level of respectability in this world.
The reality is you can't buy your way into the club because there is no club without you. You have to stay home because who else is going to watch the $3 million, 30-second commercials?
Every single fan attending the game had to be selected through the NFL's secret lottery.
Bentley states, "the Super Bowl does not have time to concern itself with the perceived lowest common denominator of society. The haves versus the have nots has been the bane of our social order for centuries, and the NFL's annual "big game" is a yearly reminder of the dynamic."
This article is superbly written and absolutely relevant. Please do Mr. Bentley a favor and read the rest of his piece.
