Football is like politics, where marketing rules.

Everyone knows something is drastically wrong with the system (the influence of money in both cases), but what we think doesn't matter because the powers-that-be don't bother to listen to us anyway.

I mean, could it be any more obvious that the CFP "committee" is simply an adjunct to advertising and television, just as the weekend "news" shows are whenever a lame-ass politician shows up to sell his/her pack of lies?

Just as the political process itself is when subverted by corporate media?

Well, at least football is a harmless game (except for the injuries). Politics are another matter. The injuries to the body politic--ordinary people--have the potential to be devastating.
