(1) at any time, indulgence in spectacles like sport-events/"Zuschauer-Sport" is NOT a 'harmless' amusement - it is always escapism: a distraction from everything that would really matter, and often an exercise in "irratonal jingoism" (as pointed out by Noam Chomsky ); and it is a major part of the now global system of stupidification and oppression, known already to the Romans, as  "panem et circenses"

Pretty much the same applies e.g. to 'fashion'.


(2) right now, humankind is facing a --possibly  fatal   (for our species)-- crisis, we are in a state of *emergency*, it's "All hands on deck! - time", and "Not only is it  The 11th hour , it's 11:59 and 59 seconds" -- and (at least imho) activities that could be considered 'harmless distractions' in other times are out-of-place right now, and indulgence therein ought be treated like any other (contagious!) sickness.
 

(( and i think that promoting any of it is definitely *not* worthy for care2, which is a site for *socially conscious* news ))
