    The reason why the media can control the narrative is because of the voting system.

    The media exists independent of the electoral system.

    you have a dozen teams, it’s much harder to control the narrative.

    ESPN would argue otherwise.

    defeatism is comfortable for certain people

    It’s only defeatism when you assume Cardinal voting is the only viable solution.

    Obviously, that’s not the case.

      ESPN, famous for controlling who goes to the Super Bowl… Oh wait, they have no control over that because there are 32 teams.

      They can’t even control who fans cheer for. Again, because there are 32 teams. And dozens of sports that aren’t football.
