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!
