Bread & Circus


Sports were meant for Fitness or Entertainment or both! But eventually, it became a subject of worshipping, & if not that extreme, an academic measure for intellect whilst enrollment. A similar case happened with cinema. Oh! Of course I’m in love with great cinema & theatre & was into sports for fitness myself (lawn tennis) long back, so I cannot be biased quoting this. If Sports teach us sportsmen spirit then great cinema or theatre reflect(ed) future (sci-fi) & societal changes (drama). The same goes with music.

 

But one cannot make a mainstream to be injected in the bloodstreams of all. Alas, this is the issue existing in all nations. Basketball, Baseball, Cricket, Football etc. name one sport which doesn’t flow into the bloodstream now. And look at some of the top academia in the world. Upto ¾th of enrollments are done on the basis of being part of any Sport. The basis? At least never the Sportsmen Spirit Evaluated!

 

The more any land is intellectually bankrupted, the more mainstream would flow into the bloodstream. And furthermore, as almost all lands were fed restricted knowledge, we witnessed decades of indoctrination of only one side. So, all this upheaval was bound to happen in the world as another side, the silent majority felt suppressed.       

 

So what’s made for entertainment or fitness, shouldn’t become part of our daily lives. Just as one sided indoctrination polluted minds for decades, this Sports or Cinema in the bloodstream would dilute basic global critical comprehensibility & the only beneficiary would be: Globalists, Terrorists, Corruptible, Rogue Liberal!
