Jocks versus Geeks - a very accurate, if cynical, evaluation of politics in the US today. And yes, the jocks would sell our birthright, the Constitution and Bill of Rights, to the highest bidder if it gave them another excuse to crow "We're Number 1, everyone else is shit!" Nevermind that that attitude spells the end of the great experiment, and we become another petty fascist state waiting for the next nascent empire (China?) to drag us off of the fool's pedestal.
