About this Book: |
|
As a society, America is bombarded with distractions; from the ever materialistically evolving but never metaphysically flourishing “pop culture” of movies, television, music, and fashion—to the massively obsessive preoccupation with the pleasing of the libido—to the relentless pursuit of technological nuance. With a multi-pronged attack aimed at dominating the sensibilities of the American public, which in-turn carries weight with the global populace, it’s easily understood how these elements have played a role in American society’s evolution from active producers of agriculture and industry, to entertainment-minded consumers with an initiative deficiency.As if the aforementioned social distractions were not enough to preoccupy the American mind from the most relevant issues of the day, yet another will be discussed; the industry of sport. Organized athletics are unsurpassed in regards to organization and the relentless advancement of it into the lives of the public.

|
The Sport of Distraction offers blistering criticisms of the structural elements in society that contribute to the dumbing-down of the American people. Although harshly honest, The Sport of Distraction delivers precise analysis on an array of issues; to include---among many other topics---the ills that apathy and partisanship have on society, the platforms used to disseminate misinformation, and a speculatory peek at what may very well be the actual motives behind some of the political activity that takes place.
