Barthes on Wrestling

"The public is completely uninterested in knowing whether the contest is rigged or not, and rightly so; it abandons itself to the primary virtue of the spectacle, which is to abolish all motives and all consequences: what matters is not what it thinks but what it sees."

"Thus the function of the wrestler is not to win; it is to go exactly through the motions which are expected of him."

"It is obvious that at such a pitch, it no longer matters whether the passion is genuine or not. What the public wants is the image of passion, not passion itself. There is no more a problem of truth in wrestling than in the theater."

“The characteristics of certainty vary according to the philosopher’s chosen system, ranging from gross certainty to the ideal scepticism of those who are certain of nothing but their uncertainty”
