Focusing Event

An event that draws the public and or government’s attention to or away from a particular issue

The impeachment trial of President Trump in December of 2019 drew attention to the issue of corruption in the U.S. government, while at the same time it drew attention away from a massive cyber attack that shut down all of New Orleans’s municipal government websites, which would have drawn the public’s attention to the danger of cyber-attacks on the government. It is an example of a focusing event.

Netflix main event syndrome

The phenomena where fighters in the main event for a LIVE event on Netflix don’t go 100% because they are making so much money either way that they simply do not care if they win or lose anymore. They’re toned down. It’s not as intense as it should be. They don’t want to get hurt. They just want their fatty paycheck from Netflix.

1: “Why didn’t Jake Paul just kill Mike Tyson then?”
2: “Netflix main event syndrome got to him. He didn’t care enough after all the money he was guaranteed to get either way from this fight.”

1: “Come on! Hit each other! What are you doing?”
2: “You expected a good fight? Netflix main event syndrome takes all that away! They just want their Netflix money.”

Event 1

Here's the refutation to the most recent one:
