Welcome to The Addition, where I cover the crossover between culture, media and sport. Thank you so much for supporting my work by being a paid subscriber. There's lots more on Super Bowl LIX coverage below, but one thing in particular did make me laugh. The Fox cameras panned to Rupert Murdoch taking in the game at the New Orleans Superdome.
