This writing is to point out the pros and cons of sitting for three hours in front of a flashing box watching spoiled, grown men play a violent game.
I was heavily into sports growing up. I played basketball and tennis every day and spent countless hours watching football, basketball, and tennis on TV. (I’ll admit, I was a full-on zombie TV head early in life. The changes in my life have been absolutely miraculous).
At this stage of my life, I rarely watch any sports. I’ll occasionally try and sit through a football game, as it is still my favorite. I usually can’t make it through an entire game, though, for two main reasons.
1. I feel guilty about wasting 3 hours of my life and not doing something productive (like writing).
2. I know that it is used as a psychological weapon.
I’ll start with the positive aspects of football.
One thing that draws me to it, still to this day, is the amount of strategy involved. To someone who knows nothing of the sport, this might seem absurd. However, there are many intricate stratagems and deceptions involved in a good football game.
Another enjoyable aspect is the wide range of physical talent on display. Guys that are over six feet tall, have 40 inch vertical leaps, run 40 yards in 4.4 seconds or less, can catch a fastball over 70mph one-handed, and have the footwork of a ballerina are surely a spectacle to behold.
As with any sport, a closely contested match does have a certain element of suspense and thrill to it. Knowing that it could be rigged, though, takes some of the luster off of this aspect.
Now for the negative aspects.
Sports, especially football, are used as psychological weapons in the war on men and the war on the family. The following is a short list of psychological aspects which will be expounded upon briefly.
1. Wastes time that could be used for much more useful things (like fighting the NWO).
2. Gives false satisfaction to the primal instincts for strategy, problem solving, and tribalism.
3. Negative propaganda is placed throughout the game (commercials and the game itself).
To expand on the first aspect, most people work Monday to Friday and have very little free time. On the weekends, it is all too common for many people (especially men) to spend hours watching football (and usually drinking). This takes time away from creative pursuits, learning, and also helps to subvert family cohesion.
As to the second item on the list: Can you imagine if people spent those three hours on creative pursuits and innovations? What if millions who watch football every weekend spent that time making a strategy for local autonomy with their neighbors? The false satisfaction that football provides in this area should not be overlooked. It also allows subconscious venting of aggression. It is a battle simulation. People root for their team and get emotionally involved as if they were doing something of importance. If this need is satisfied by football, then that same person won’t feel the need to rebel against their slavemasters.
It should also be noted that the human need for belonging to a group is satisfied by people cheering for the same team and celebrating together. It creates an artificial bond with no real substance behind it.
Finally, and most importantly, I feel is the negative propaganda repeated constantly throughout football broadcasts. Most of the commercials are about 3 things:
1. Drugs
2. Unhealthy food
3. Violence and obedience to the state
Drugs are pushed in pharmaceutical and beer ads. Pizza and fast food commercials are notoriously popular during breaks. Violence and obedience to the state are repeated constantly. Why is this bad, you might ask?
Pharmaceutical drugs and junk food play pivotal roles in mental and physical control of the masses. The NFL is notoriously anti-gun, which is anti-self-defense, which is anti-freedom. Obedience to the state is pushed by ads for the military. Mythological “patriotism” is part of the psychological chicanery used to control people. Be it consciously or subconsciously, propaganda does have an effect on most people. Seeing the same message thousands of times in just a few months (the length of the football season) eventually takes its toll on the cognitive functions and helps create what I call “artificial humans”.
So how do I deal with this dilemma? I like to be entertained and relax just like anyone else. After all, all work and no play makes Toddy a dull boy, right? I’ve worked out a “system” to make myself feel better on the rare occasion that I do take in a game.
1. Always have the sound off
2. Listen to music and/or an educational podcast during the game
3. Make a conscious effort to dissect the propaganda. Make it a mental exercise to see what the social engineers are doing.
4. I don’t have a team. There is zero emotional involvement. I just watch for the enjoyment of phenomenal athleticism and for the strategic qualities displayed in a good match.
A note on football being used for propaganda: the military "donates" (the NFL is a nonprofit) a ton of money to the NFL, and in return the US military gets lots of support - lots of "support the troops", salute the flag, and sing the USG's special song type of B.S. Just another example of the government perverting a gernerally wonderful pastime into a "we love murderers!" festival.
Well said, well said. I completely forgot that the NFL is a "nonprofit". What a farce. Thanks for the great comment. Cheers!
