The Big Game is today, not that I’m interested. While I follow Beige University’s teams, the professional sports don’t involve me. I suppose that’s because I see pro franchises as mechanisms for blackmailing cities out of tax revenue to build stadiums under the threat of moving to other cities.
I do kept swept up in Beige’s teams, especially when they’re doing well. Even though the athletes are separated in the athletic dorm and are rarely seen in actual contact with other students, they are technically a part of the campus.
(BTW, I acknowledge that by being nocturnal, there are lots of students with which I have no contact!)
Anyway, there are lots of parties planned this evening, and since The Game is played at night Fenton and I will probably go to one of them and watch the commercials. That’s what most people do, anyway. Only in America do we have an unofficial holiday for gathering in large groups to watch TV ads.
