Last night we had a superbowl party. About a dozen unitarians all crowded around snack food and watching the big game. I had decided to root for Arizona, being the underdogs, and had a couple of people rooting for Arizona with me. There were some others rooting for Pittsburg, for their political leanings. Even those Arizona lost, that was a hell of a game, and a much better game than I was expecting.
I’m a Unitarian. I like sports (Most notably NFL, College Football and Basketball.) That doesn’t seem hard to understand, although the person sitting next to me at said party was dumbfounded when I was yelling at the TV about some of the bad calls made by the refs (I’m sorry, but at the end that should have been an incomplete pass, not a fumble by Warner.) She made the comment that I’m a unitarian – why the hell do I know stuff about sports? It was in jest (I hope) but the thoughts still there. (Hence, my Pop-UU from a year or two ago.) And it’s aggravating.
I would rather watch football then go to the symphony. Does that make me a bad UU? It just might, but I think it makes me like an overwhelming majority of Americans though. (That might me one of the few things I’m in the majority of! heh.)
