The Cult of the Philadelphia Eagles QOC

 


Growing up in PA, I was indoctrinated into the cult of football.   Nothing mattered in grade school or high school except football.  The NFL playoffs and Super Bowl were a religious holiday. We made signs, tables of foods, etc.  I visited the Eagles training camp in the early 1970's at Albright College in Reading. I remember their kicker Happy Feller had me carry his helmet onto the field for him.  I was in heaven.  Is it a coincidence that Happy Feller made me a "happy feller?"




When I finally left the cult years later, my family and friends couldn't believe what happened to me.  They tried to tease me about the Steelers and Patriots...I just told them it was a soap opera.   Now I see it as a far more nefarious enterprise, tapping into primal elements of tribalism to manipulate manKIND.  Colors, logos, sayings, etc all manipulate manKIND.  Now there are visual elements of hypnotism embedded in these broadcasts. There is a reason that all of these public venues are plastered with wall to wall screens.
