Leave it to Iran’s “Press TV” to find the angle on the Superbowl, which, admittedly is something I ponder when I look at the Seahawks.<\/p>\n

A 9\/11 truth Super Bowl?<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

The article is slapdash in who it labels as “9\/11 Truther”.\u00c2\u00a0 Is Michael Moore a “9\/11 Truther”?\u00c2\u00a0 Not to my knowledge… and you have to define the term broadly to get it to fit.<\/p>\n

We also get this here…<\/p>\n

Normally, the Super Bowl \u00e2\u20ac\u201c with its ritual militarized violence and crass, tasteless, often downright perverse advertisements \u00e2\u20ac\u201c represents American culture at its worst. But this year’s Super Bowl, scheduled for February 2nd, will have one redeeming feature: It will put the national spotlight on the rise of the 9\/11 truth movement.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Comedy gold.<\/p>\n

Interesting, because when I first saw this story this is a type of comment<\/a> I saw:<\/p>\n

Reason number 136 to dislike the Seahawks and Pete Carroll.<\/em><\/p>\n

The most recent reason I see people hating the Seahawks is, of course, Richard Sherman and his dishonorable WWE style trash talking on 49ers player Michael Crabtree<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 Note to Sherman: next time the Seahawks play the 49ers, please say “Crabtree?\u00c2\u00a0 More like CRAP Tree!”\u00c2\u00a0 Because, I don’t know, why not?<\/p>\n

But there’s a sudden “Wait.”\u00c2\u00a0 The Seahawks are now a Hated team?\u00c2\u00a0 Like, the Cowboys were once, like the Raiders were once?\u00c2\u00a0 That’s… weird.<\/p>\n

On the matter of Coach Carroll and 9\/11 Truth, and the political angle of who one might ever negligibly root for — I note last year in a game I did not watch I was ever negligibly rooting for the Ravens on the issue of gay marriage.\u00c2\u00a0 (A Ravens player was for it; 2 49ers players stated their opposition and happened to be in a “It Gets Better” video that they didn’t know what was about)…<\/p>\n

So the question for the Seahawks… do you applaud Pete Carroll and root root root for the Seahawks for sheer chutzpah, or do you axe him for being so wrong-headed on the issue?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
