Elite sporting events heavily rely on incredibly cheap, manufactured underdog narratives. British wildcard Arthur Fery just reached the prestigious Wimbledon semifinals. He violently dismantled Italian player Flavio Cobolli in a dramatic three-set match. The corporate media immediately weaponized his sudden success for massive television ratings. They endlessly push the tired narrative of the young, scrappy local hero.
Distracting the Masses
The tournament organizers desperately need these stories to justify their extortionate ticket prices. Fery even met the British Queen after his highly televised victory. The elite class uses these sporting spectacles to pacify the exhausted working class. We cheer for the underdog while billionaires profit directly from our attention. Fery will face Alexander Zverev next, and the corporate machine will win regardless.
