The Socialist NFL?
I'm not normally one to take horoscopes seriously, but Mom brought home this week's Free Will Astrology:
Writing in November's Esquire, Chuck Klosterman described the National Football League as one of the most successful socialist institutions in the world. As evidence, he notes that rich teams in the biggest markets are required to share their revenue with poor teams in small markets. The league's best franchise in recent years, the New England Patriots, has won so many games because its star players have volunteered to accept reduced salaries, making more cash available for the team to assemble the best possible collection of second-line players. I recommend a similar approach to you, Aquarius. It's a propitious time to bring the NFL's brand of communalism to the group or business or tribe that's so important to you.
It's almost mindbending to think of the NFL as socialist, considering how aggressively corporate branded it is, and how much sheer money it pulls in. But it shows that we can learn new techniques from very unexpected places.
