Looking at what's taking place in the sports world, ESPN, which has been around seemingly forever, has thrown down the gauntlet with its massive layoffs of Ryan Clark, Cam Newton, and others, as ESPN pivots and expands its massive position and portfolio in the football broadcasting arena. If there is anyone who is familiar with my perspectives, they would be aware that I have previously discussed the the nessary and essential illusion that sports holds within its perceptions and stratification in the mind of their viewers. as it need to shape the perceptions and attitudes of the viewers. Observing FIFA, the international football federation, assert its influence As the necessary illusion shaping national policy. With anti-black racist sentiments like in the NFL and it's need to control it's fanbase.The preservation of these elements significantly aided the imperialistic goals of those Europeans who seek to conquer or maintain dominance over the majority populations just so happened to be the yellow, red, brown, and black people globally.
This is just my views on the necessary illusion believes of Noam Chomsky in his book "Manufacturing Consent" which refers to the falsehoods, oversimplifications, or idealized narratives that the dominant society has institutionalized its improper propaganda to maintain social cohesion, public policy, and its established power structures.
