Bitchin’ Friday: Supper Bowl




            If you live in the Seattle area then you know that Supper Bowl Sunday is almost here.  With all the hype and excitement spilling out across the city it is hard not to get wrapped up in it.  There are still those who turn there noses up and proclaim that they do not care about sports.  You might be asking, if I don’t care about sports then why should I be rooting and celebrating something that I don’t care about?
            Well ok, but why not get your head out of your ass and just come celebrate the fact that an entire city (and the majority of the state) has finally come together as equals and are celebrating as one.  No politics or other agendas are in the way and everyone can agree on one thing, Go Hawks!  It has become a greeting and a way to wish someone well, much like saying Merry Christmas or Happy New Year.
            Many still may not get the idea of rallying behind a team for better or worse.  They may have never played in a sport so this concept of cheering on a team is foreign to them.  The feeling that the fans get when there team wins or loses is very similar to corporative gaming.  That excitement and joy you may feel when your team crushes an opponent in Halo, or when your guild has completed a dungeon raid successfully are the feelings that a sports fan feels.  That wave of excitement washes over you and won’t let you go.
            Even if you still don’t care about sports, it is still nice to have a bit pride for your city.  So slap on some blue and green, doesn’t even need to say the team’s name on it, and walk down the street head held high.  You love your city and you’re proud to be part of thrill that filled the cities street.  And when someone yells out “Go Seahawks” you respond with “Go Hawks” since it is now a greeting to your fellow citizen.  
 Go Hawks!
