When anthropologists look back on these times, they’ll note the outsized importance our society put on athletic contests between unpaid athletes. They’ll look at clips like this and note that we gathered in public to support our favored tribe and took it very seriously. They’ll wonder at our willingness to subject ourselves to such dramatic emotional swings so quickly.
