No problem for millions of Americans The Washington Post: Deepak Sarma, professor at the College of Arts and Sciences, outlined the ways sports—and the Super Bowl, in particular—have such an effect on American society. “It brings communities together in a really artificial way,” Sarma said. “Do we need this? Why do we need this? They are great distractions when there’s so many more important things going on.” |
