I don't like the feeling that it might be something akin to "kicking a man while he's down" but I am compelled to mention that the problem with sports mania isn't JUST SUPERBOWL(S). They are, as you pointed out through your comparison to the $-gap between "The Game" and feeding the hungry. Part of this problem is exacerbated by the fact that the sport-mania is not ONLY football; it is baseball, hockey, tennis golf, soccer ("foot-ball"), basketball, the olympics (& the events which precede them); it's college, high school, semi-pro and professional levels. I'm not sure if I'm making sense to you but as best as I can put it is that a large poart of this problem is that there is so much time (& money) devoted to sports in their numerous venues (both in different sports and the multitude of levels within each sport). That someone with as much personal devotion to sports, you could/would make the comparison which you did was, for me, a pleasant surprise.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
