Also I’m very sad at the forming of mega conferences in CFB. I can already see the disparity of teams growing even wider to the point we’ll see schools, even the larger state ones let alone the smaller programs, be lost to oblivion.
Most of the best rivalries in the sport are attributed to regionality, and even though they’re out of conference or has become very one sided, they’re still a joy to watch. My grandad went to Georgia Tech and to this day will still go on rants about Georgia. These things matter, but are yet another sacrifice on the altar of “progress” and capitalism.
Pro wrestling is the main reason we have modern combat sports today, because even though their fight was horrible, Antonio Inoki and Muhammad Ali’s dream fight helped spark an idea for martial artists of different backgrounds to test their skills against one another.
It also is the reason that many homes picked up television sets, because the entire country wanted to see Gorgeous George get his ass kicked (coincidentally the same man who told the previously mentioned Ali to never stop running his mouth in order to sell more tickets and create a persona for himself).
There’s a lot of wrestling’s history that is cringy and out of touch to downright awful and problematic, but wrestling is for everyone and is a completely unique form of media that everyone should experience.
