There is a land called “ Iloathefootball” and I am its queen. I detest this mindless fanaticsm. People are being told ‘dont have a life threatening problem’ in downtown N.O. tonite or you might not make it because of traffic! There is no other news, no weather except that which affects football, just ‘borg mind’ robots.
I hope the streets flood-like they always do -then maybe priorities will change.
Thousands of dollars for a SEAT at a GAME, but the area is still begging for sympathy and federal help!
Sick- I just want it all over.
