Reason Number 787 To Root For The Giants
First, let me say that I am a Philadelphia Eagles fan. I have been a fan of the boys in green since about 1979 when I started to get into football. I still am an Eagles fan.
So, logically, I should be rooting against my team's arch rivals, the hated Giants. I mean, rooting for your team's enemy is one thing a sports fan should never do.
Unless, of course, they are playing the Patriots.
There are so many reasons why I am rooting for the Giants. There is the underdog factor -- certainly a big thing for any sports fan. There is the fact that they beat the Cowboys -- how can you really hate a team that does that? There is also that whole CHEATING thing hanging over the head of the entire New England franchise.
Not to mention Patriot fans and Boston Red Sox fans are one and the same.
This, however, is the icing on the cake. Check out the article in the Boston Herald.
As if displaying Boston's second city jealousy for the world to see isn't enough, let's review Jessica Heslam's world of ignorance, shall we?
In her feeble attempts to make Patriot fans appear superior to Giant fans she referenced the Yankees. Last I checked, the Yankees are not in the Super Bowl. This is a common mistake among those highly educated fans up to the northeast of New York. Each time the Patriots have won Super Bowls in the recent years, do you know what chant the Patriot fans yell? That's right, "Yankees suck!!!" Their inferiority complex has deluded them into thinking that not only every New York team is the Yankees, but every team in every sport is the Yankees. Perhaps all that northeastern chill has brought about an epidemic of paranoia in their oh, so educated minds.
Another odd argument was the charge that Patriot fans are somehow more "equal opportunity". In Ms. Heslam's zeal to put Boston over New York, she made a grave error here. Boston, the most segregated city north of the Mason-Dixon line, should never compare diversity to New York. It's just silly. I guess all that education seemed to have been wasted.
How does Ms. Heslam know the sophistication levels of Giant fans? How does she determine what Giant fans do, eat, or drink outside the stadium?
It is yet another example of a minor city's newspaper attempting to increase its stature by belittling a better place. I mean, Boston is a fine city. It has a nice river and was important to America about two hundred years ago. But, really, it is just another city. It isn't in the category of city that is a New York, Chicago or Los Angeles. And while it does have some wonderful institutions of education (as does New York -- I guess Ms. Heslam in her geocentric small-mindedness never heard of Columbia or NYU), those brilliant students, as she herself noted, hail from New York.
Belittle the Giants? Go right ahead. Slam Giants Stadium? Have at it. Say how much you hate New York teams? That's your right.
But don't try to knock New York or New Yorkers.
Jessica, you possess neither the brains nor the class to go that route.
GO GIANTS!!!
