It's just football

I like to read many of the political blogs. I think they are sometimes interesting, sometimes inane, mostly inane. I don't understand this attempt to politicize the Super Bowl. Don't cheer for the Colts because Peyton Manning gave money to Bush. Don't cheer for the Colts because Tony Dungy is speaking at an anti-gay event. What about Tank Johnson and Ricky Manning for the Bears? How can you cheer for them?

I think supporting Bush or an anti-gay agenda are clearly wrong things to do. I also think hoarding undocumented weapons and beating innocent people are not good things to do either. In fact, I think cheering for a team in a football game based on political rationale is stupid. It's a game. If you don't care about either of the teams, simply go to NFL.com and do the bandwagon test. Or, do what I do and support the team that has the most players from your University of choice. The Bears have Cedric Benson and Nathan Vasher, so I will cheer for them. They also happen to be my bandwagon team.

Another reasonable way to determine who to cheer for is to guess who Vince Young would cheer for and then to cheer for that team.
