7 Reasons You Should Stop Watching National Televised Sports Right Now
“If you really want to be a champion in life...
go out there and make a difference in your real world.” — Franklin O’Kanu
With the Olympics in full swing, sports dominate the conversation. But I haven’t watched sports since 2015, and for good reason.
When I started to wake up to the realities of our world—the oligarchical system, the Federal Reserve’s control over our monetary system—I realized something profound about the emotions sports stir in us.
Before we dive into the reasons, it’s important to consider the deeper, metaphysical aspects of sports. From a spiritual perspective, there’s a lot of primal, sexual energy in sports.
We often see a ball (male energy) going into a net or hole (female energy). The founders of basketball and football have occultic backgrounds (Naismith1: Freemason, Camp2: Skull & Bones), and there’s significance in the odd numbers of players (11 in NFL and soccer, 5 in basketball). This spiritual undercurrent adds another layer to the influence of sports on our psyche and society.
This spiritual aspect, combined with the massive cultural influence of sports, creates a powerful tool for shaping society. While many of us enjoy sports for their entertainment value, it’s crucial to understand the more profound implications of our engagement with them. As we peel back the layers, we begin to see how sports can be used as a mechanism of control by the ruling class.
Before we explore the seven reasons, it’s crucial to understand three key points about our reality:

There are rulers and the ruled. If you’re not a ruler, you’re being ruled.
We’ve been granted the illusion of freedom upheld by systems like Presidential Elections.
Once you grasp these concepts, you’ll see how sports keep us entrapped. Thank you to

“When was the last time we cared about our civic duties and political responsibilities as individuals?”
By indulging in the free brain entertainment that sports provide, we become lazy. We trade our civic responsibilities for bread and circuses. Before we can even consider watching sports, we need to get involved in our communities and take charge of what’s being taught in our schools.
