“Hi guys,<\/p>\n

Thank you for the blog entitled “The Brotherhood”. \u00a0You should be the major media – I love the way your blogs make me think and challenge what I believe. \u00a0But even more, I love the way you talk about things no one else is saying in the media.<\/p>\n

With ‘The Brotherhood’ blog I think you didn’t go far enough. \u00a0What is missing and a pet peeve of mine is the fact that every day on every news report they end with a large coverage of sports, sports events, what sports figures are doing, and sports media. \u00a0The largest acculturizing tool in the world. \u00a0The propaganda they spread is appalling – especially at how we sit and watch and let that crap seep into our brains, our personality and our lives.<\/p>\n

How to get everyone into things that are ‘traditional values’. \u00a0The right food, clothes, way of thinking, adversarial way to live, etc. \u00a0It is amazing that sports would be so overwhelming every place you turn. \u00a0 I click off the news when the sports section starts. \u00a0Nothing else in this society gets such coverage 24\/7 – how come this? \u00a0It makes sure you and your children are exposed to what this society wants us to mimic and we do follow and pattern ourselves after what the media promotes.<\/p>\n

Why on earth would I want to mimic grown men running around and acting like little boys? Why do I want to see two sweaty men pretending to be big, bad and throwing each other around a small enclosed square ring? It is time for the news to give equal coverage to other activities that happen with great frequency and that more people enjoy – and enjoy without the constant exposure to and constant putting forth the image that this is what we want to see and hear.<\/p>\n

Get real folks – find a life and get out of this sports trap!<\/p>\n

And thanks again for this forum – keep up the good work. \u00a0You are the only place I call for bed & breakfast.”<\/p>\n
