Football is America’s Pastime
?I had always thought it was baseball, like this guy wants to believe. But I remember back in 1987, the NFL was on strike, while there was a thrilling run for the division title between the Jays and the Tigers. Without any live football, one of the networks replayed the prior Super Bowl. Meanwhile, Jays/Tigers was the game of the week on NBC. The two games came in head to head. Remember, not only is football a rerun of a game, but the fans must be disenchanted as well because the players were on strike. And the TV ratings had the rerun of the Super Bowl game beating the end-of-season thriller series between Jays/Tigers. It was then that I knew that it was football, not baseball, that had already captured America's heart.
And really, who cares? As long as they show baseball and hockey somewhere, I don't really care what anyone else thinks.
