I guess it's too much to ask a sports dumba** to remember back more than 200 years BEFORE the '78 World Series to a little event called the Boston Massacre, during which British Redcoats killed five colonists on 5 March 1770.

We are in the bread(EBT) and circuses(sports) phase of the demise of the US empire.
