Charles Krauthammer's book, pub 2013, "Things That Matter" made a point that all things are political. Politics touches everything. Certainly no doubt about that these past 10 years.

Well, I can certainly respect Mr Krauthammer agreeing with me, it’s quite an honor 🤣; it seems a tenet of civilized society is the concept of "rules" and that to crib from from Ecclesiastes (hey, I’m no Pres 💩 💩 🧠, 😱 political much?), there is and HAS to be a time and place and NOT a time and place; the Greeks recognized this with the original Olympic Games when the city states set aside war, strife and combat for the athletic arena - the whole "do it in the buff" thing is a bit off putting; I think "the games" endured for centuries? All this was done for the glory of the gods on Olympus; as we have removed God from society, invited Godless and anti God nations into the Olympic arena both politics and sports have degenerated
Actually, "the masses’ were limited to just men (maybe males as I don’t remember if boys were permitted) and those that identified as men.
JK, you were or you weren’t, none of this maybe 🤷♀️ nonsense.
And I don’t know about any requirements to attend, tho since it was a spectacle for the gods, attendance may have been invitation only - those deemed worthy of the gods.

Was it not a spectacle/example/appeasement rolled into one for the masses that were required to come watch? Just guessing here.
