Celebrities at the World Series

With the number of celebrities at this years World Series, it might have well been the Grammy’s. Why is it that most celebrities think the cool thing to do is to only to go high profiled sports games? Jay z, Kate Hudson, Billy crystal, Donald Trump, Spike Lee, Bloomberg, Former mayor Giuliani, Michelle Obama, Joe Biden and his wife, Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner, Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher, Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves could all be seen at this years World Series, and most of them in New York. Most of those women don’t even understand baseball, much less want to go see a game.
At one point when Spike Lee was congratulating Phil Coke, there were more cameras on him than on the game. Every chance the network had they would put the face of a celebrity in the middle of the screen. Are we supposed to be impressed that famous people are at the World Series? Should we care?
These celebrities see these games as an event to be seen at. They dress up, they doll themselves all to be seen at a professional baseball game. It is a gentle reminder of how intertwined professional sports are with popular culture. In this day and age, sports stars are celebrities. Having Demi Moore show up at a game is like Jeter going to the Grammy’s.
The elites of society “roll” together, and sports is no exception. They like to go big or go home, all the time. The World Series is one of the biggest events in American Sports, it is only fitting that there would be an entourage of celebrities to go along with it.
As long as sports continues to be as high profile as it is, celebrities will be sure to be there.
