Hi Steemit family!
I hope you have a good Sunday? In Barcelona, it's nice weather so I'm quietly working in the sun. What else?
I mentioned in my previous blog posts that our daily life can be boring and quite stressful. Usually, we can have different choices to get away from this boring life for a while. Some people prefer to go to the bar and drink a few beers, some people go to a concert to listening to music, some people also prefer to go to a football match.
As I mentioned above, we all have different fun insights. But I want to talk about football today. Because, according to other activities, football has the power to gather larger crowds and this is of interest to me. Not only in the stadiums, but also in the face of TV, many people are watching football matches. All of these factors make this sector an important power. People from different parts of this sector gain significant profits. Now I'm going to point out a different point here.
Can football be one of the ways of managing peoples?
You have seen that many politicians follow football matches more closely than other sports organizations. People in the administration of a country want to control the people of the country in the easiest way. Football is one of the easiest methods. Thus, the majority of the people only focus a single point and they don't think another thing. This perspective brings some examples to in my mind from history.
Remember the movie "Gladiator"? This movie that It brings us together with the strongest era of the Roman Empire. However, although the country is the most powerful country of that era, the emperor has difficulty in managing the people. So the emperor decides to organize an event where people can get together and focus on a single point. These organizations called gladiator wars to provide satisfaction to the public.
Yes, football is not as bloody and deadly as the wars of Gladiator in the past. Although I am sometimes indignant at seeing the behavior of some players or supporters in the face of failure. This is one of the sports where we see the most violence from fans.
However, the two organizations have a common side. This is the use of such organizations by states and politicians to manage the public.
There is obviously a gigantic business behind this sport and we buy players as if we were buying stock market shares.
Finally, I have to say that I have criticized different points on the subject mentioned above. But I still love football as a sports organization :)
