It Always Happens with ‘Sports’

Fans celebrating with a bonfire in Philadelphia after the Eagles Super Bowl win.

Let’s test your powers of clairvoyance! See if you can complete this chain of events.

!) Philadelphia Eagles win berth in Super Bowl.

2) Eagles win game.

3} ???

If you answered “3) Fans riot,” you saw the future! Oh, I know–fans always riot. Any dummy could’ve guessed it. Only one death, though: a teenager was killed when he climbed up a street pole and fell off. And only 30-odd arrests.

But you see how important “Sports” is to us. The whole country shuts down for Super Bowl. I wonder what would happen if we had five or six of them.

(Watch what you say, boyo!)
