The Fiesta Bowl

First off, I'd like to wish you a Happy New Year and Happy/Merry whatever it is you celebrate. Now then, OU came out for the Fiesta Bowl. It was amazing. Bob Stoops = awesome. They finally won this year after choking in the epic Boise State game and again against West Virginia. It was amazing but at the same time it was the most boring football game I have ever been to. We got started off with God Bless America, some other pro-America song and then the national anthem. By the time that ended, I was a little annoyed. All I came here to do was watch a football game, not worship a flag and sing meaningless dribble. Anyways, that's not the point.

Now hear me out before cursing me for calling the game boring. If you were there then you would understand. There were SO many times that play was delayed because the people in charge of the Fiesta Bowl wanted to "Honor so-and-so" or "Recognize Jane Doe" or whatever. It was getting to be infuriating. We couldn't go through one change of possession, end of quarter, or get through a kick-off after a score without this crap. It was so... Ugh. Even my brother agreed. I actually took out my phone and used the stopwatch to see how much time passed between a PAT and the ensuing kick-off... 2.5 minutes. Football is a game of intensity and adrenaline and you build off the things happening. When you get delayed for 2.5 minutes then you take out the excitement and level of play. I was getting so mad.

But for me, that was not the worst part. Not by a long shot. We got to the point where we honored a few veterans and the last guy that was introduced was an immigrant. The announcer spat out this bunch of crap that made me VERY angry: "And finally, we honor [his name], who earned his citizenship through protecting our freedom".

"Earned his citizenship through protecting our freedom."

That is the biggest load of bullshit I have heard in a long, long time. He had to risk his life on the battlefield just to be able to live in the United States? It's good to see how benevolent we are.

Fight and kill for us. Okay, you can live here now.

I don't really know how to describe how ridiculous that is.

2010 Racism against Latinos,
You're stealing our thunder.
Warmest Regards,
1860's Irish and Chinese Racism

That's all I got for now. Nationalist asshole Americans, feel free to send me hate mail. Rational humans, feel free to send me whatever.
