Duke of Ruins

A prince-investor may offer the 'image' of academic views of sportsmanship and social-media commentary concerning 'American' ritual.

An homage to college-athletics market-imagination/education inspired by the very symbolic American sportsmanship-media landscape-themed film Blue Chips (Nick Nolte), which I hope you'll like (and thanks for reading!), 

DISCLAIMER: This work of sports-media fiction/hyperbole offers no ties/associations to the referenced school/team (Duke) and all images used herein therefore comprise a purely 'personal' journal-work for 'open' writing.

Prince Amlan Satan was using his inherited fortunes in the East Coast after immigrating to America to invest in academic expressions of scholarships/athletics fineries in the social-media culture of Homeland securities readers/chats (hmm).

He wished to cast special images and icons of the Duke University college-basketball program as an engram for capitalism-race activity and social-media networking imagination surrounding Homeland securities concerning commerce-life and 'academic' forms of purely American handshakes (for all!).

PRINCE SATAN: "Here's a college program of 'fantastic academic' value (Duke) with 5 titles, conference-mastery, and season #1 rankings earning its place as an 'icon' in media-broadcast era and social-media culture for sportsmanship/competition-class superstition/storytelling, which is why I'll create a 'prince-fanboy' comic-doodle of color/fun for a cyber-storyboard concerning the capitalist-investment value in the discovery of 'ghostly' magic in its scholarship-worthy competitive events/education."

Sure, what America 'craved' was social-media 'chess' excellence in academic re-presentations in Homeland securities in competition-class education/activity which would reflect a Western-world interest/rating regarding United States 'reach' into world-traffic governance highways/rhetoric, since college-athletics would remind citizenry about competition symbolism for capitalism's special 'education' hands, and Duke basketball reminded American fans/commentators/writers of the new millennium 'scholarship value' of ruined superstitions (or the 'magic' of photography).

PRINCE SATAN: "Sure, the access to video-game entertainment in this new age of tech/media may remind fans/consumers of synthetics-value of competition-class activity at the collegiate level, casting Duke 'stars' as 'avatars' for this Homeland confidence in the 'handshake' marketing (for all)."

There had been flowered in the American sports-writers imagination a special 'ghost-magic' of what made Duke a new age 'icon' for media-broadcast era 'chess' excellence in competition-class superstition. After all, they boasted outstanding successes with a diligent/consistent 'teamwork' ethos (fostered by its now-legend coach who recently retired following one last Final-Four miracle-run which fans would count as a 'proof' for Western-world sportsmanship/competition 'invention' for all).

PRINCESS DANICA (Wife): You got another Duke-collections 'treasure' card, eh?

PRINCE AMLAN:  Excellence, sweetheart; I'm casting a sports-board for the Homeland.

DANICA: Why don't you invest in some toy-company or official card-business?
AMLAN: Nah; I prefer the collectors method for social-media storywriting, princess.
DANICA: What's so special about Duke/America?
AMLAN: It's a 'game' (really!) concerning the 'detectives' of capitalism's hyperbole.
DANICA: Well, why not Indiana or North Carolina, Amlan?
AMLAN: Well...Duke's coach and 'stars' had offered fans a 'view' of teamwork-handshakes (really).
DANICA: Well, maybe you'll find a special 'ghost-magic' for academic history.
AMLAN: For all time (really); I've found a 'formula' for baby-ratings.
DANICA: Excellence; congrats (you'll find your 'radian' museum maybe).

AMLAN: I'm sure of it, Danica (ha).
