Yes it is capitalism and I agree with that concept.
But people in general have put sports/entertainment before everything and look at athletes/celebrities as semi gods.
before God, before wife, husband, kids, before true family time.....like teaching life skills, playing cards or board games, teaching a kid to use a measuring tape, cut a board, plant a garden/trees, hunt and fish, how to change the oil, tire...jump start a car, build something, exercise together(for health), skip a rock, start a fire without a lighter, run a fence, etc etc
to each your own but sitting in front of a tv is not my primary entertainment.....it’s so far down on my list. Same reason I have no social media besides this site....
and look I grew up during the magic bird Jordan years....the 49er cowboy years. I played college ball. I realized once I started having kids that life is too short and I’m not spending it in front of a tv.........when I can have a more engrained relationship and lasting impression with my kids.
sports do teach a lot about life but when it becomes the focal point in a society something is wrong.
again this is just my opinion.
