Right.
Like, you know, particularly in this kind of event where that would be particularly interesting because there's so many people watching it who would never watch football in any other situation, you know.
But all those things, you know, those ideas kind of that football, you know, like you say, we have like a vast tolerance for it.
And, you know, certainly there's social evidence that it might be true, right?
But I would say like for you โ
I don't think you have a vast tolerance for it.
I think all of those things in almost any other scenario, you would say unacceptable.
You would say that is an under, but you accept it in one spot all the time.
So maybe it's not vast.
Maybe it's specific.
And if it is, then the meaning of football actually exponentially increases.
If it becomes the one place where those ideas cannot just exist, but flourish and be an acceptable thing to care about.
