90% of people watching were hoping he would fall.
Not unlike NASCAR and F1 fans.
While 10% were the people he owed money to.
Most of us knew he'd made it before ABC put it out in front of us....I'm typing this now as his first steps are being shown on the west coast.
Yeah, that's what I call thrilling stuff.
I don’t how many people watching hope he falls but I believe 100% of people watching watch because he runs a good risk of being killed. If not, why watch? Would anyone watch a man tightrope walk 12” above the ground? Of course not. So, why then do they watch a spectacle like this? To hope he survives? Rubbish. They know that their good hope does nothing for him and the anxiety people feel watching is the thrill of vicarious fear that sells the event. Voyuerism pure and simple. Personally, I find it very close to pornography in that death (the ultimate private act) is remanufactured as entertainment for those that have depraved needs.
“90% of people watching were hoping he would fall.”
Total Bovine Feces...you were hoping he would fall?
90% of people attending car races hope to see fiery crashes.
