    The government building massive stadiums for people to watch sports is not for “health benefits”. Cmon now. This is typical “bread and circuses” stuff.

    And it doesn’t have to be a “nyah nyah nyah” twirling mustache guy thing. Fact of the matter is that the rise of professional sports just so happened to correlate to the rise of the nation state.
