I'm absolutely astounded that you'd be negative towards Chomsky Hetfield. You an Alan Dershowitz fan?

How’s everybody feeling about a life without sport?

Have gotten a few books of his recently and read bits of them here and there, as some are essay types etc
Would anyone recommend his defining work that everyone should read?

Just seen the video again. It was published on July 15th 2018. It was 5 years ago when he spoke

He sounds like a gas man to go drinking with!!
“He theorises that if we weren't distracted by watching sport we would wake up to the utter pointless shallow existence we lead. “

He was speaking just up the road from me in UCD campus 5 days ago and I never knew it.
I'm sickened. Last realistic chance I can ever get to see him on a public platform.

Possibly but my point is that it there is a theory that the packaging of sport (and the modern phenomenon of the celebrity sports star) and indeed our news are tools used by the media, governments and big business to provide distraction to the masses.

But did going to sport not have a major impact on creating those inclusive communities? Its not that simple

You're actually making my point! You've accepted your lot (not having a go - most of us have too) and will never do anything about it (this is the indoctronation) and are now happy to be distracted by something which makes the whole thing more "bearable". Fwiw I can't agree that people are better off now. That is definitely not a given. The gap between the haves and the have nots has never been so wide. Most people just don't realise it. Do media, television, sport (mainly viewing not participating) and consumerism really equate to a greater standard of living than the more socially inclusive communities of times gone by? I'm not so sure. Edited by eire77 - 23 Apr 2013 at 9:19pm |
