Football has begun. The excitement and rage that it can induce within my very soul is something that satiates the bestial core of my brain, and the smell of that leather ball makes my blood stir something indescribable. The ecstasy of cheering with thousands of others and being brought close to tears with those same stangers is a feeling that every human should experience, for it is the fuel of society. Religion and government have often tainted and manipulated this feeling, but sport holds retains its purity because sport has no aim other than itself. Sport has no agenda. The athletes might, the team owners might, but in its connection the crowd, the cheering masses, it is still just a game. A game that can make 50,000 souls beat to the sound of one drum, and that beat can drive an individual to accomplish great things.
That being said, Notre Dame is getting their asses kicked by Michigan, and I might have to get drunk before work.
