As you may now, big bucks were spent to make the 50th Super Bowl as extravagant as it was. Big names performed, MVPs from all 50 Super Bowls in the same stadium, some kind of puppy, monkey, baby hybrid was featured in one of the many commercials. Those big bucks were also spent to make sports as huge as they were and spread advertisements, just as much they're spread today, in the 1920s. This tradition has been going on for roughly 90 years or so, but is there a chance more of the Roaring 20s' can resurface nearly a century later? Could overspeculation wreak havoc once again?
Let's look at the facts shall we?
Fact 1 // Innovations during the 20s brought people closer and connected the nation. News spread faster, nothing would be missed since everything was broadcast. See something familiar? Social media has brought the world closer than ever with apps such as Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook, YouTube, etc.
Fact 2 // As I mentioned before, loads of money have been put into filling up stadiums, selling major products, etc. The 20s was also full of stuff like this, Babe Ruth and Jack Dempsey helped sit people down in stadiums and arenas all over the US. Ads spread across radios and games advertised the latest products just like they do today. Believe it or not, all of this was happening before the Super Bowl was even thought of.
Fact 3 // Have you heard of this guy named Donald Trump? Well, he's a nativist. Who else was a nativist? Oh, I don't know, James Monroe, Woodrow Wilson. your boy Teddy Roosevelt, Warren G Harding -- that guy sucked, I take that back. You get the idea though. Nativism is growing in the US with the ignorance of Syrian refugees and Trump's campaign using nativism to his advantage. Nativism was also a big thing and resurfaced around Teddy's presidency. Wilson even used nativist views to win a second term, and then went on to get the US involved in WWI. Trump's done his apush homework.
There are tons of other facts/coincidences out there. Those were just some I could think of.

It could be a coincidence because we have a more stable credit system but it's definitely possible.
