42 | How they might pick Military Bases to show in Sports Events


During the 111th World Series in NYC, U.S. Forces are shown at Bagram Airfield.

NYC = 14+25+3 = 42
Bagram = 2+1+7+18+1+13 = 42

Mindless military support is one of the main cultural programming ingredients of every professional sports game.

  2. On the subject of 42; this number has been bandied about in relation to the Kids Company charity controversy in Britain:
    http://uk.businessinsider.com/kids-company-funding-national-audit-office-report-2015-10
    "Overall, the NAO reports, Kids Company was given at least £42 million ($64 million) in grants by the government,"
    http://blogs.new.spectator.co.uk/2015/10/kids-company-given-an-unbelievable-46-million-in-taxpayers-money-despite-repeated-warnings/
    "The money used to prop up the charity had an impact elsewhere: in 2008, it received 20 per cent of all the grant funding available from the DfE – leaving the rest to be split among 42 other charities."
