RSSLocal Sports Team
The local sports team seems to be doing well. People seem to be coming into work tired and happy as the local sports team has been winning it’s most recent series of sports matches. Two things strike me as funny:
- The use of the phrase “Cowboy Up” as related to the local sports team. As we live in a largely service based economy, there havn’t been any Cowboys anywhere near Boston in a couple of hundred years. There’s nothing like a meaningless, idiotic slogan to say over and over to distract people…or unify them…or annoy people.
- It’s very foreign to me that people get so excited by wins of local sports teams. They internalize the teams wins as their wins, they argue about who has been “with” the team longest, and who cares more. It seems so displaced.
