As most of you know by now, I tend to play the contrarian. I will like something often because you don’t. The colts are in the Superbowl and there is nothing I can do about it.
On the news today the police department is warning of a crackdown on rowdiness and property destruction. I was just commenting the other day that we don’t have enough sports riots in this country, so we will see how that goes.
It also seems that some folks were working on having the game affect the next school day. They anticipated a high absentee rate among students, so they wanted to delay the start of school by 2 hours to let all the kids recover from their hangovers. The school board won’t let them do that so they compromised on one hour late, but then extending the school day by half an hour. They accidentally let it slip that this entire charade was because they don’t think their bus drivers will show up. They are worried that the people who drive 30 children to work won’t be fully about their faculties. And for this they want to disrupt the thousands of parents lives who have set schedules and will have to get to work late to accommodate these people.
How about the school districts make the bus driver job attractive to dependable folks by making the salaries a little higher and having a little bit more challenging hiring process?
When the revolution comes, organized sports are the first thing to go.
