Rant #3,633: Better Things

 

About the so-called "Big Game" ...

Now they have a "dancer" who somehow "sneaks in" a pro-terrorist banner into the proceedings.

And they sing the black "national anthem" before the game. 

What can you expect from a game thst has little to nothing to do with sports?

Racist, anti-semitic ... sorry, this is not a sporting event, this is a podium for anti-social behavior.

Utter nonsense, a "game" promoting divisiveness, and nothing more.

And the resultant looting and other ridiculous behavior by so-called fans ... the media reports on all of it liken these incidents as part of the "fun"--

Please.

And, oh, I forgot, betting.

Even before betting was legalized, it seemed that everyone had some skin in the game, although probably 90 percent of the people watching the game didn't really care about it as a football game, more worried about their boxes versus who won or who lost.

Baseball is our national pastime, while football is our national obsession--

And there is a clear difference.

Baseball is a game that stirs passion.

Football is a game thst gives people reason to place bets, and most people really don't care about the score; they care about the spread.

And it all comes to the fore with the Super Bowl, where this obsession is magnified 1,000,000-fold.

What did I do during the Big Game?

I watched some silent Our Gang shorts, and I went to bed early, because I had a very early appointment to get some things done with my car.

So I didn't really miss much, did I?

No, I didn't.

I didn't miss the game, which I don't give a hoot about ...

I didn't miss the halftime show, which features trash performers and their garbage mumusic.l

And I certainly did not miss the commercials --

Why does everyone suddenly love commercials when it has to do with this game?

No, I kept myself entertained, got some much-needed sleep, and was very satisfied.

I am afraid our culture has sunk to the lowest levels, and it is all encapsulated in the Super Bowl, and everything revolving around it.

Trash culture?

Not my thing.

How about you?

And now, it is on to baseball!

And onto other things which are much more important to me.

Football?

Totally deflated.
