Everytime I turn on the TV to SportsCenter, I witness the dumbest questions they have. For instance, the day after a big game finishes, they ask the question "Did this team win or did the other team lose?" Are you serious?! What kind of idiots do you have working for you? When you have to stretch the media out that much it's time to stop. But my next example is by for one of the dumbest questions ESPN has ever asked.
As you all know, the Pittsburgh Steelers have won the Superbowl and it marks their sixth Superbowl victory in franchise history. Now, I love the Superbowl and everything to do with football, but the one thing I hate about it is the media that surrounds the weekend.
So, the day after the Superbowl I turned on SportsCenter and the show was 1st and 10. And if you know me already, I'm biased against Skip Bayless and anything he has to say. So the next question that was on the line-up was entitled "America's Team?" So of course I had to stick around to see what that was all about. Well I got exactly what I asked for by listening to the debate. The debate was whether the Steelers or the Cowboys are America's Team.
...?
Really? You want to know my opinon? Well here it goes. America's Team in my opinion is the Steelers. It's the Cowboys. It's the Packers. It's the Broncos. It's the Ravens. It's the Lions. It's the Raiders. The Saints, Falcons, Bengals, and the rest of the entire league. Why do we have to condense ourselves into saying that America has one team? Is that logical at all? We are the only country in the world that divides ourselves when it comes to sports. Look around the world and they all come together behind their one team that represents the entire country. The US has 32 different NFL teams, 30 MLB teams, 30 NBA teams, and 30 NHL teams. So again, I ask why we have to come behind one single team from one single league? I find it to be a pathetic way to say "My team is better than yours." What do you think?
