Actually, following sports can provide a ton of cultural insight and often times story lines are applicable to overall society.
For example, the bigger story of this thread is that the normal referees of the league are in a contract dispute with the team owners.
Owners vs. workers....any parallels there?
How about having unqualified officials making calls in the game?

Games are nothing but a distraction.
IPODS, Arenas and fields will keep us entertained while the elite play out their agendas when the masses are being entertained (distraction).
referees vs players? Is this REALLY important right now and is it going to play an integral role in today's issue's?
Sports.com...better served and the perfect distraction...IMO.
I won't go into detail as it's a subject beaten to death even before me but it's easy to search here on ATS.
Peace

I am very opinionated and focused on the subjects of National and global events, food, economy, industry, human rights and war. Among many other topics that are very important in this world.
Maybe you will be surprised that, in fact, I do agree with you and your decision to point out that sports and other forms of entertainment serve as a distraction to the general population,OVERWHELMINGLY. However, I am not asleep. I keep close tabs on the events in the world around me and am aware... I know many other are NOT.
In most cases I would not choose to author a thread on something as offtopic as this, but I felt it was important news to get out at the time, because of how unfair and HUGE it was in the world of sports & history.
Out of all the threads on ATS I highly doubt this 1 thread will serve to disrupt an entire network of conspiracy-related threads. It's healthy to be entertained once and a while too. And as such, there exists a forum for sports on ATS...
