Summarize the gradual decline of the Worcester National League team. How does this fit with what we’ve talked about regarding the role of sports, conflict, and profit motive in our lives? What happened after the team left Worcester, in order to go on a road trip (at a 9-19 record) and how might it prove to be a commentary on what society sometimes looks for, when sports aren’t available? Further, how are sports and spectacle similar to one another? What about the Troy and Worcester story as it relates to the Philadelphia meetings stuck with you, and what is the lasting lesson about professional sports?
