Icon Us versus Them

Great game, gotta tip my hat to the NY Football Giants. My team had more than its share of opportunities to put the game away. At least the Patriots season made January pass by quicker. That's always good.

A week ago, the Boston Globe had a reporter dressed in NY Giants attire walk around the city. You can't imagine the crap the guy had to put up with. Threats of violence were even uttered. Pretty ugly stuff that could have played out in most any sports-obsessed city I would imagine.

I look at the allegiances we form to our teams and conclude that the ethnic, religious, tribal conflicts that separate us and lead to violence are inevitable.
