March Madness...I am not impressed by professional sports. At this point, collegiate sports are basically the same as professional sports -- it seems like most of the presentation of college football or basketball is only centered on manic consumerism (just like professional sports) and the bombarding blitz of advertisement. It is hard for me to get past these clunky pitfalls and see sports through some idealistic lens where the game could be a metaphor for life or some deeper expression than of a sports star trying to sell millions of dollars worth of cola or sports apparel.
Regardless, I still joined my brother's NCAA bracket "Pick-em" group like I do every year. I am pretty sure my brother knows that I don't really want to fill these out year after year but, in the end, I do it anyway to show him my undying love.
