Go phins

So we went to the dolphins raiders game this Sunday, with some former students of mine and and friend of mine. Pictured are the two former students of mine who have the unfortunate problem of being raiders fans. Yes the dolphins won so now I am happy I got to see them and win on top of that. I've read a few articles on the game and they say the dolphins played well, and for the most part they did however with three turnovers if we were playing a better team we would have lost. They have lots of potential, some nice talent on both sides of the ball but they just make a lot of mistakes with turnovers and penalties. But it was nice to see them not lay down and give it some effort. You know they are only two games out, but we will not close the gap, but then again we can always hope right. Man if they could have only pulled out a few of those close games they lost earlier. The game was fun, but there is one thing that did bother me, entering the stadium my wife and I got bombarded with comments, (Oakland has notoriously hostile fans, even dangerous at times) seeing as we were showing our colors. Now I don't mind some good natured trash talk, and we got some of that, but we also got a lot of just plain crude comments with lots of bombs (curse words that is), and personal attacks and people just plain mad at the fact we were cheering for the opposite team. Why must people feel they must be loyal to a team by being crude and rude. It just shows the ugliness of some. Its just a game folks not war, not a personal attack, not a attack on your morals or your God. Take it easy were all just fans trying to enjoy a game, but more importantly we are all children of God and we should treat each other as such. Well that's all of that, much love and God bless.
