If i had a time machine the first thing i would do is watch a gladiator match on it's full violent glory.

99% of the people who watch the super-bowl watch it for free.

Governments figured out how to crowd source bread and circuses, so today everybody just sits around watching tv or on the internet and there is no need for constant gore in the arena to keep them from getting restless.

What are you talking about? There are multiple 24/7 sports channels nowadays, you can literally spend all day and all night doing nothing but watch sporting events.
