The NFL can save the global economy


As entertaining as it is terrifying this piece by Yanis Varoufakis a professor of economics is worth a gander.

Memorable quotations include:
  • "In short, I have a hunch that the world is spinning out of control."
  • "All we need do is think of a way to organise the game of human life along the NFL’s lines, merely substituting the goal of maximising the audience’s excitement with that of minimising humanity’s chances of ending up like a dim, self-defeating virus."

Okay.
