I've been thinking about this for a while. Something that keeps popping into my mind is the fact that I've watched every Super Bowl. I've been in front of a TV on Super Bowl Sunday every year for 50 years.
50. Fucking. Years.
And I'll be there again today. Not because I feel a weird need to blindly continue a personal tradition, but because this is being hyped now as something much bigger than just a game. And that in itself seems pretty bizarre - the thought that an event that couldn't possibly get more over-hyped is now being overly over-hyped into America's Mutual Orgasm Of Battle-Porn.
The team representing the blackest city in USAmerica Inc - and the political home of The American Civil Rights Tradition - is up against the team from a city that is known for (and in some ways, proud of) being the most racist city anywhere; the team with a quarterback, a coach and an owner who're publicly good buddies with 45*.
So while there is nothing at all to the bullshit of God Will Decide This By Taking Sides In Mortal Combat, I'm pretty sure that's how it'll be characterized by the side making the claim that their cause is represented by the winner of the game.
A fucking game.
BTW - here's hoping the so-called president Donald (The Pissant) Trump gets his ass stomped by Genuine Home-Grown Hero John Lewis.
