  Gladiators and Games - The...

  The origins of gladiatorial games can be traced back to the ancient Roman Republic, although their roots extend even further back into earlier civilizations. While the gladiatorial contests that are iconic today were popularized by the Romans, the initial concept of such games was deeply influenced by traditions and customs from earlier societies, especially the Etruscans. In fact, the Etruscans are often credited with introducing the practice of gladiatorial combat to the Roman world. 
  The earliest gladiatorial contests were likely held as part of funeral rites. Roman aristocrats and leaders believed that these violent spectacles would honor the deceased and ensure their passage into the afterlife. These games, known as munera, were originally private events, organized by wealthy individuals to display their power and wealth, while offering a form of public entertainment. The idea was that the bloodshed and valor shown by the fighters would symbolize a tribute to the dead and possibly even appease the spirits of the departed. The number of gladiators involved in these early contests was small, and the fights were often staged in temporary arenas. 
  The practice gradually evolved from being a private funeral tradition into a state-sponsored spectacle, especially during the 3rd century BCE, as the Republic expanded and began to look for ways to solidify its control over its vast territories. The games became a tool of political propaganda, used by ambitious politicians and generals to gain favor with the masses. By the time of the Roman Empire, these gladiatorial contests had grown to monumental proportions, with arenas like the Colosseum hosting thousands of spectators.

  The Fox Nation host, Fox News contributor, and social media master argues that it’s time to square your shoulders, stand your ground and speak the truth. 
  The conventional wisdom is that we need more civility and fewer arguments. If you have a controversial option, keep it to yourself. Tomi Lahren could not disagree more. It’s a trick. The same people whining about tone will call you names and applaud those who threaten you. We don’t need safe spaces, and you shouldn’t be patient and wait out the bullying. In Never Play Dead, Lahren encourages all Americans, especially women, to find their voice and speak out. She skewers the hypocrisy of the self-esteem movement that has made people afraid to stand up for themselves. 
  Wherever Lahren goes, the # 1 question she gets isn’t about politics. It’s about her confidence in herself, her beliefs and who she is. Never Play Dead not only answers this question but helps you learn how to stand your ground, discover how resilient you are and find your fearless side. In this book, she offers the antidote to all that: worry less about who might offend, and focus on who you might inspire. In the long-run, you will never regret being forceful when the truth is on your side. 
  Lahren worked her way out of South Dakota to television fame in LA, surviving social isolation, a truly terrible boyfriend, awful workplaces, and getting fired in front of a million haters. Along the way, she was tempted to keep quiet, but she never did. Now she calls out the comment trolls, the political correctness police, the terminally jealous, and the ever-escalation victim culture that tells you all your failures are because of the system (and therefore there’s nothing you can do about it). Whether you’ve been told you’re not good enough by parents, lovers, frenemies, bad bosses, or social media, it’s time to take Lahren’s advice and fight back.  
  It’s better to lose friends and followers than to lose yourself. The truth is, you may find more people who agree with you than you think. It’s time to shed your fear. With Never Play Dead she inspires you to stand up—and shows you how.
