Winner Takes All in America

A 120*53 yard green field, U-shaped goals spaced 18 feet apart, a whistle, 4 quarters of 60 minutes, 11 players on the field, a 30-man coaching staff, a 46-man roster, hundreds of sideline staff, tens of thousands of spectators cheering in unison, tens of millions of people watching from the sidelines, hundreds of millions of dollars in commercial sponsorship, this is just an ordinary football game weekend.

The winner gains both fame and fortune and takes everything.

The losers are sad and have nothing.

All

or

Nothing?

As a man who appears in multiple newspaper pages covering sports, entertainment, finance, business, technology, and culture, his public image is undoubtedly complex.

Those who love him say that he is the savior of the football field, the pioneer of commercial sports, the pioneer of Wall Street, the harvester of Hollywood, the godfather of Silicon Valley, an old friend of lobbying groups, and a beneficiary of two financial crises.

In the eyes of those who hated him, he became "a team bully with no professional ethics", "an unscrupulous opportunist", "the heir to Hugh Hefner's legacy", "an alien from Area 52", "a broker from K Street", and "a lackey of a media group".
