So I just learned why football is so boring: on television, you only see about 11 minutes of the actual game (this is supposed to make it more interesting --- by adding a story --- but if that's so then the NFL would be fatally boring and lose fans one stadium-full at a time and I can't accept that).
On the theory that professional football is actually interesting in person, I'm going to make a metaphor about life.
Life = football in this metaphor and watching it on tv is sitting around watching life pass you by. Actually attending a game and being part of the cheering crowd makes you more involved and less bored and, one presumes, actually putting on a helmet and getting concussions will be less boring of all.
To svithify this, may I suggest that God put us on earth to play a game and not sit around and watch others play.
That is all.

and the kick is good!
ReplyDeleteI like your metaphor

ReplyDeleteIn football's defense (I saw the last half of the game --- the first bit of Superbowlery for me since Niners vee Bengals --- and it was a pretty exciting half, really), they have the best camera technology in the world. On a good tv, broadcast football is an art of color.
So God put us here to play a game...
ReplyDeleteDoes Agricola count? Or is actual farming required for the attendant character development?
What about the Settlers of Zarahemla (which, oddly enough, exists)?
[Not Unrighteous] Dominion?
[Scripture] Power Grid?
Go [and Sin No More]?
So many possibilities... :-)

ReplyDeleteTime to start writing query letters to Covenant, I think.
