BRAINWASHING TO STOP BEING MANIPULATED

Brainwashing tends to be a little more “personal” and subtle. Brainwashing often requires the victim to be isolated, and more dependent on the individual or group of individuals who are brainwashing them. This is a favorite tactic of cults, religious groups, and yes, even your favorite sports teams.

Let’s focus on national, televised sports, the most seemingly innocent form of cult worship. Billions of people all over the world tune into to watch football, baseball, swimming, car racing, cricket, volleyball, curling… the list goes on. Those same billions spend even more billions of dollars on tickets and travel to live games, merchandise, and the access to watch their favorite teams on their favorite channel in the comfort of their own home. What would happen if the Super Bowl didn’t air in February? An honest, logical guess might be: “The world would end as we know it.” Championship games of all kinds draw larger audiences than political rallies, religious observations and even the release of the latest iPhone.

But let’s see what happens: Does it really affect a fan’s life if the Patriots win or lose the Super Bowl again? Not really, yet millions of television screens turn to the game every February regardless of their team affiliation. What kind of power is this?

A dangerous one, that’s it. Just how the politician or businessman has a wide reach in order to emotionally manipulate an audience, large groups of brainwashers can wipe your conscious down to the bare essentials. Then it replaces that person’s “personhood” with an identity, set of ideals, beliefs, likes and dislikes that aren’t their own.

How is the NFL or NHL capable of Advertising and affiliations? The NFL is one of the largest and most prominent sponsors and advertisers of the United States military. Commercials for different branches play during breaks, certain games or national anthems are dedicated to veterans, POWs, or current individuals serving. Players even don camouflage, military-inspired gear as part of this relationship.

Then there was the debate over the national anthem when Colin Kaepernick knelt in solidarity for all of his fellow people of color brutalized by police violence. The NFL immediately launched a vociferous media campaign, that was picked up by NFL fans everywhere. Soon, stickers, hats and t-shirts could be found everywhere saying “I stand for the anthem.”

The NFL took this opportunity to use their fan base’s interests, as well as the hold on they already had on loyal fans. As television ratings were dropping, the NFL created a problem that didn’t exist, turned it into a media tornado, and unleashed their rhetoric on millions of viewers nationwide. It had a discernible effect by creating a reason for people to watch other than for the game itself.
