I’d like to bring up a number of issues at beginning of year that go together to describe the social problems tearing up America, perhaps especially those that aren’t partisan issues or social media scandals.
I just realized, Saagar did an entire monologue on his show Breaking Points last month -- it's really good -- the beginning of the kind of journalism we need showing the legal & business changes that help along this catastrophe.
One of the worst parts about it is that people don't care as much about the sports themselves anymore- just the betting. You hear the betting lines on every sports commentary show now. Case in point: "NFL Redzone" channel, where you watch 6 games going on at once to keep up with your players on fantasy football (taking the focus on just one team duking it out with another)
I think that's a very important observation -- where is the focus? Caring about any specific team, even caring about a good competition between teams -- we're increasingly abstracting from that.
