Underdog discontinued their traditional betting services in December. They still do fantasy but they probably had to make some advertising cuts.

That’s crazy given the some of the content of the show.

Celebrity worship in America is so bizarre. Someone once said, celebrities are like the noble class of America.

where on this planet are celebrities not a big part of the culture?

Ive travled a lot and have never been to a country where the people didint follow celebs.

I saw the Kardashians on newstands in China more than on do here.

Kardashians are an American creation. Maybe we are just ahead of the curve in looking at celebs as our betters much in the same way people in the past looked at nobility as their betters.

Celebrities being recognized is one thing.

But entertainment, by way of celebrities, being the foundation of the shared interpretation of current events, political economy, interpersonal relationships, history, human possibility etc etc is not some universal global standard by far. But thats the case in the United States

Entertainment/celebrities are the social glue of united states social society. Nobody can put forth a sensible historically sound argument that has been a meaningful convergence in material and social conditions between AA Natives and white people. For instance, Black people are in a whole 'nother "great migration" (forced displacement) and getting pushed into a 3rd civil rights movement... i can keep going.. but point being is that there are entirely separate civic planets and trajectories within the nation.

Entertainment has been the means of a (flimsy) integration and common identity. Its the city center. We cant say China or other societies have managed their sense of collective self through such means.
