Sports
With the Super Bowl coming up, I thought I'd talk about sports. It's not a typical topic for me, but why not? I enjoy sports, but not in the way most others do. When it comes to watching sports, I call myself a "purist," which is probably the wrong term, but it's the only word I can think of that makes sense. What I mean by "purist" is that I don't care about the team or the players; I am only interested in the plays. One guy will make a really good throw, but a guy on the other team intercepts, and I'm enthralled and on the edge of my seat the entire time... Since I'm not rooting for one team, I'm not upset when the other team scores. I never understood the idea of being loyal to a team that constantly changes. They switch out players almost every year, management changes, coaches change... What exactly is there to be loyal to? A city? Even that changes... just ask the former Oakland Raiders (now Las Vegas) or the former Brooklyn Dodgers...
