520    In an increasingly secular, fragmented, and distracted 
       culture, nothing brings Americans together quite like 
       sports. On Sundays in September, more families worship at 
       the altar of the NFL than at any church. This appeal, 
       which cuts across all demographic and ideological lines, 
       makes sports perhaps the last unifying mass ritual of our 
       era, with huge numbers of people all focused on the same 
       thing at the same moment. That timeless, live quality 
       makes sports very powerful, and very lucrative. And the 
       media spectacle around them is only getting bigger, 
       brighter, and noisier. More importantly, sports are sold 
       as an oasis of community to a nation deeply divided: They 
       are escapist, apolitical, the only tie that binds. In fact,
       precisely because they appear allegedly "above politics," 
       sports are able to smuggle potent messages about 
       inequality, patriotism, labor, and race to massive 
       audiences. And as the wider culture works through shifting
       gender roles and masculine power, those anxieties are also
       found in the experiences of female sports journalists, 
       athletes, and fans, and through the coverage of violence 
       by and against male bodies. Sports, rather than being the 
       one thing everyone can agree on, perfectly encapsulate the
       roiling tensions of modern American life.
