I haven’t written in a while, which isn’t entirely true — I have a few half-written posts that I just haven’t finished and thus haven’t posted yet. First off, the Colts won the Superbowl, not that I actually care that much. I watched, and I did cheer for the Colts, since I lived in Indianapolis for six years, and (technically) I live there now, despite the fact that I go to school in Canada.
There was wine and good food and the game was fun to watch, especially the opening act (Cirque de Soleil)… until, at the end of the game, the head coach opened his mouth, and made me want to puke. He wasn’t proud of his acheivement because he was a black coach, no, but because he was a Christian coach, and he seemed to be operating under the delusion that being a Christian was some kind of a black mark, that it was rare for people to be annoying, proselytizing religious dickwads. I’m sorry, but I was under the illusion that atheists were the minority, not Christians.
And seriously, dude. If God did exist, which he doesn’t, who do you think he’d be more concerned with? The millions of starving children across the globe… or your football game. I’m sorry, stupid question. You’re right, of course. Football is way more important than starving, dying children. How could I have been so dense?
Then there was the repeated statements by the CEO & Owner that they were “world champions.” I guess the world must have stopped including… oh, every country besides the USA, while I wasn’t looking. God, I must have been distracted.
I got a migraine shortly after hearing both of these speeches. Coincidence?
Other than that, it was fun. I did enjoy hockey more last season, but I think hockey is more fun in general. They have sharp things on their feet and slam each other into walls and small black objects flying around at high, and potential very painful, speeds. Plus the Oilers got to Game Seven of the Stanley Cup, and, well… I’m Canadian.
