Surrounding ourselves with dozens of physical objects (cars, television, golf clubs, etc) has subtracted our attention from the world around us, our American ideals. Instead, we follow sports teams, and take our cues from football especially, since it is the most local of major sports (every college has a team).
It’s our team, right or wrong. The Mississippi Rebels (Ole Miss) is a perfect example of the shift to tribalistic (fascist) values. Once a vehemently segregated school, it now recruits black men to be “Rebels” < (as in, Confederate Rebels, who fought to maintain slavery) on their football team.
