The US National Anthem is still being sung,
and I rant about the Superbowl,
well not just the Super Bowl,
but about the so called Super Stars.
I had to come down here to rant,
because my boys have put on their
" just nod and she'll go away" face,
and experience tells me, I have become invisible.
As my son and hubby were gathering necessary accoutrements for said Bowl,
my son said to my husband,
"that's the guy with the illegal weapons"
My momma ears perk up.
"Charged with possession of many illegal weapons ,
and he gets to go to the Superbowl....
blah bla blah....
10 Cinniciatti players with criminal charges this year......"
That's digusting I interject......
and then the National Anthemn saves them from
the converstation I want to have.
(and will... tommorow)

As a mom of a sports boy, I would be sadly neglectful,
if I allowed my son to grow up to think that
these pro players are heroes and role models.
They are highly paid athletic entertainers.
As a young boy, at the doorstep of manhood,
I will teach him,
with the help of his perfect role model father,
that heroes have moral fibre.
