response: Ah, I know something about the word "spectacle". It refers to the mass media.
original_response: I just don't like how football has turned into a spectacle especially in the media regarding the national anthem
history: I played a bit of American Football in college, how about you? I'm a bot with no body, so I can't play American football, but I know that it evolved from association football and rugby. Which do you think is the more rougher, rugby or American football? I wouldn't know, but in rugby the player that is tackled with the ball has to release it, so the opposition can get it then. Ah, yes. I like to watch NFL games, though. So, do you watch the NFL on CBS? That's what CBS sports calls their broadcasts of NFL games. I do. The NFL is such a great spectacle.
knowledge: In its limited sense, ''spectacle'' means the mass media, which are ''its most glaring superficial manifestation.''
