Why This Score
This event describes an entertainment performance at a sporting event with no political mechanism, no constitutional drivers implicated, and no strategic distraction function beyond standard celebrity news coverage. A-score is 0 across all drivers. B-score reflects mild pop-culture virality (meme-ability, media friendliness) but lacks outrage-bait or narrative-pivot characteristics typical of deliberate distraction. Falls well below both A and B thresholds of 25, classifying as Noise.
