When Felipe Massa let his Ferrari team mate, Fernando Alonso passed and subsequently win the German Grand Prix, do you still want to classify F1 racing as a sport or a travelling circus?
A travelling circus where drivers, team managers, sponsors etc are all putting up a multi-billion dollars show which create entertainment where millions of fan pay money to watch.
I saw the title of an article a moment ago.. "How real is the reality show?" Actually whoever gets to stay or whoever get booted at the end of show depends on the rating each participant receives during the show? As ratings mean advertising dollars, the person who ultimately wins the $1million prize monies is actually being rewarded for keeping the show watchable by millions.
Wouldn't you wonder why an Idol would always end to be someone good looking who can somehow sing? Or the idealists would really think the best person did actually win the race?
