Why does anyone pay any attention to what entertainers and athletes do or say?
They pay attention to celebs and football, and especially celebs DURING football, as well a their news media favorites, brcause they have shoved God out of their lives
People think God can be shoved out and that no one will replace Him, but the objectified female, such as this one, does so
People pay attention because their politicians are not listening to them.

In many ways, a portion of our population is culturally moving into the realm of brownshirt business models. We are not watching an odd play of events taking place in New York, everyone knows what the Gov. said and now what the Mayor of NYC supports, yet...there is a commercial running offering a 10 tax exemption to bring your business or start your business in New York. Is that only restricted to politically correct businesses?
Why does anyone pay attention? Because the ridicule of not being PC correct is total destruction.
When Rome was falling apart they didn’t bring bread to the masses, they brought entertainment to distract the masses from their pitiful lives. The Roman elites understood exactly what the masses craved...an escape from reality.
Some things have not changed, except not the model has been tweaked to not only act like a distraction, but be used as a political tool to control the meme.
