I'd say religion because the Republicans have been using "moral values" to get people to vote for them.

Television has a strong victory on the coasts of America, and it's pulling even with Religion in the central states. TV is clearly gaining.

TV is ahead in some places, but I think in other places religion still mantains a strong grip. Like Oklahoma or something.

Ryanair, Easyjet, hen and stag party trips to Tallinn and Dublin, alcopops, reality television, Jerry Springer style shows, television devoted to garden/house makeovers, car boot sales, cable and satellite television, tabloid 'press', 24 hour trading (Sunday is the new holy day- wholly devoted to shopping day), Aldi supermarkets- it's all the bread and circuses de nos jours.

I think you are confusing me with someone else- I don't love sports, I don't watch sports, I don't participate in sports, I don't collect sporting memorabilia, I don't love or find sports that interesting.
