The mere fact that he is being talked about in this regard is annoying. Who the fuck cares about this person. What he believes is not a matter of national interest.
It’s a stupid little fluff piece about somebody saying something so stupid it’s funny. It’s not like it’s a massive story. The news has always been like this. Giant earthbreaking news and then stupid little fun fluff pieces.
Stop trying to make it some deep societal issue dude.
If I had to register a guess, OP was probably (or hopefully) basing their comment on how sports like Football and Baseball have traditionally been viewed in the U.S., and possibly Futbol (Soccer) pretty much everywhere else. Whatever he based it off of, I can say there is just a bit too much funding and weight that goes into sports in Highschool and many Colleges. While dumb comment be dumb, it is certainly true that many people do place obscene amounts of importance on sports in general. For schools it’s often to the fundamental detriment of educational curriculums.
I’m not really trying to defend OP. Just pointing out that from what little I have grasped, one is almost seen as a cultural outcast in some professions if they don’t “talk sports”, for example, and the stories I’ve heard of people found wearing the wrong team colors, wild. It’s all a bit silly, tbh.
I get where you’re coming from but at the same time it’s still just… Absolutely hilarious that he’s trying to call this worship. It’s like seeing atheists making fun of a particularly stupid passage in the Bible and then telling them that they’re worshiping god.
I don’t think they were talking about this specific instance. They were talking about actually famous and successful singers and athletes. Also the only reason there is a news piece mocking this kid is the fact that ordinarily Americans care a lot about what famous athletes and pop stars say. It’s not like that they would make a similar piece mocking a baker or handyman or something. This news article exists because it’s relevant to how important professional athletes’ words are.
Worships? Dude… This article is basically making fun of him for being a dumbass. That’s the entire story. Dumb fuck said dumb thing.

Not really the point of a news outlet is it?
As I said below the news has always had both big breaking news and stupid little fluff pieces. This is how it is always been.
To generate revenue? No, but here we are.
Then they go voting for Trump.
