"Bread and circuses" "panem et circenses"
(or bread and games; from Latin: panem et circenses) is metonymic for a superficial means of appeasement. In the case of politics, the phrase is used to describe the generation of public approval, not through exemplary or excellent public service or public policy, but through diversion; distraction; or the mere satisfaction of the immediate, shallow requirements of a populace, as an offered "palliative." Its originator, Juvenal, used the phrase to decry the selfishness of common people and their neglect of wider concerns.The phrase also implies the erosion or ignorance of civic duty amongst the concerns of the commoner.

No, it's the excuse of the masses to riot and let out their carefully hidden racism and animal aggression.

If we didn't have football, we'd probably be fighting World War 4 right now

in certain circles, yes, there are quite some. Has been lucky enough to dodge those. Mainly people who were edgy emo kids or outcasts in some way.

Same people who complain about "nationalism rising" at WC because of all the flags and mass euphoria.

Ive read about student living communities that dont accept "Germany fans"
