The clock tower is becoming more emblematic of Mecca than the Kaaba. You can notice this in merchandise and paraphernalia about the city in which it increasingly takes center stage as the most notable physical landmark of the city. This was inevitable since it was designed and constructed in a way that completely decentered the Kaaba architecturally as a focal point. Even worse than that the tower and surrounding caters solely to an elite global consumer class (as well as people mesmerized by Western mass market KFC slop) which furthers the obvious class stratification at a place where everyone is ostensibly equal.
If you’re a fan of big brands, then the G5 getting a spot is a stain. I’m sorry, but blocking half of the FBS from getting a singular seat at the CFP table means you’re not a fan of college football, you’re a fan of big brands.
Also, the CFP language is the “top five conference champions receive an auto bid.” There’s four Power leagues, so the G5 gets its best conference champion in (will 9/10 times be as the #12 seed), not some fourth place schlub off the street. So this notion of “G5 auto bid” is also flatly inaccurate.

every time I see this image pop up on here I full-body cringe at the level of adolescent narcissism required to see one’s parents as two simple interlocking peas in a pod.
Of course you think you’re the only one that contains multitudes, you’re twelve!
Oh look at me, I'm Oronde Gadsden, I'm a good enough route-runner to draw a holding penalty but also good enough at the catch point to pluck footballs out of the air and then big and athletic enough to break tackles and rack up wild YAC. Whatever dude.
