“ the NFL already reads culturally like the result of a right-wing blogger shotgunning a wine cooler and deciding to “make things fabulous.”[Note: The F-15 flyovers, the martial fanfares, the crisp green lawns, the body armor, the commercials in which giant whooshing branding irons burn the low APR of a Chevy Silverado directly onto the screen, etc. It’s as if the guy who invented Branson, Mo., looked at his work and said, “Screw this, I can do better.”]
