Comment on Why is the NFL draft day so "special"?
vvilld@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 week agoMore like Prime Day or Black Friday.
While Valentine’s Day is heavily marketed and focused on consumer materialism now, it was actually celebrated as a religious holiday for well over a thousand years. It’s more an example of an existing celebration that got turned into something commercialized by capitalism.
Where as the NFL Draft, Prime Day, and Black Friday are “celebrations” wholly invented for the purpose of commercialized consumerism.
