Super Sunday

The Super Bowl.

The national holiday of the United States is not New years or the 4th of July or any other day it is Super Sunday. The day the champion of professional football is decided, Super Sunday. It is said that more beer is drunk and more food is eaten on this day than on any other day in the year. It is also a statistic that more wifes are beaten on this day than any other. The great American holiday.
When I was nine years old I watched Joe Namath and the New York Jets pull off the biggest upset in Super bowl history. Broadway Joe predicted victory and the Baltimore Colts predicted Namaths destruction. The Jets won despite the late entry of Johnny Unitas who almost saved the game for the Colts. A very funny thing happens when the “game" starts. The streets are abandoned and most places look like ghost towns as people are glued to their TVs for the game and even more for the commercials.

In essence this game plays a very important role in America defense. Its enemies underestimate the US when seeing how frivolous an entire country seems to become. How can a society like that be determined to fight determined to win.

For all your football fans out there, Happy holiday!
