    “Sport in the sense of a mass-spectacle, with death to add to the underlying excitement, comes into existence when a population has been drilled and regimented and depressed to such an extent that it needs at least a vicarious participation in difficult feats of strength or skill or heroism in order to sustain its waning life-sense.”
    —Lewis Mumford (1895–1990)

    “All we who prefer to live
    Have a little whistle we give,
    And flash, at the least alarm
    We dive down under the farm.”
