...”These multimillionaires have to realize that they are entertainers and that no one really cares about their opinion on anything other than the game they play.”...

In my opinion, the sports idolatry in this country is a big part of the evidence that we are in decline as a nation. When people seek entertainment above everything else, we are in trouble. Stop watching Mr. James and the others who should stay out of politics, a topic most of them know little about. But, then, that would be easy for me since I am not a fan of any of them. They are simply people who happened to grow taller than most and can run up and down a rather small court. For most, that is their main talent.

Already long ago, from when we sold our vote to no man, the People have abdicated our duties; for the People who once upon a time handed out military command, high civil office, legions — everything, now restrains itself and anxiously hopes for just two things: bread and circuses

The government is supply the bread for 47% of the population today and subsidizes the entertainment industry heavily.

All the mental effort people put in to their fantasy leagues would be much better use thinking about how their government is screwing up their lives.
