Super Bowl Sunday...

Since I'm sure I'll be stepping on some toes now, let me start with
saying that I love America! Or the people here I should say... But
there is one thing I don't understand: what you call sports here...

Take football for example. For starters, why do you call it football?
They're grabbing the ball with their hands! In the football games
(okay, I know you call it soccer here) I grew up with that would be a
foul, you give the ball over to the other team. And secondly; what's
a sport? Sport means a competition including physical activity,
right? And top athletes should be the people who are pushing the
boundaries of what the human body is capable of, right? At least they
look like they work out more than the average Joe.

So in football, a bunch of guys (with beer bellies) line up, one of
them gets the ball, runs about 5 yards, and then everybody stops!

"Okay, that was quite the exercise, lets take a break, re-group and
think about this for a second. Do we really wanna run anymore? I'm
getting kind of tired. What about you?"

And then there's baseball... (where most of the top players also look
like their too found of potato chips and soda pop, while exercise...
not so much. They throw a ball, hit a ball, run a little, then take a
break! Don't wanna get tired. And what's with the "World Series"?
There's only American teams competing! Doesn't that make it a
National Series? Since, after all, there are other countries in the
world.

So am I gonna watch the Superbowl? Probably, after all Prince is
playing the half time show.
