I do EDITORIAL CARTOON make the effort, however, to quell my arrogance, and risk being called down for it if my bragging gets out of control. But bragging about the successes of the particular sports teams that I have in some cases arbitrarily chosen to support brings me the ability to be arrogant without the risk of lacking humility. Even the athletes responsible for the victories that we brag about are not afforded this luxu- ry. No Saints fan would be criti- cized for bragging throughout the offseason about his team winning the Super Bowl, but if Drew Brees did the same, he would be called arrogant and would be told that he should focus on the upcoming season. Being a sports fan gives us an outlet to do something that many people want to do but risk being insulted for it. We aren’t allowed to talk about our 4.0 GPAs or our 1600 SAT scores. We can’t even go on and on about being a member of a state championship football team. But if our hometown team wins the World Series, we can spend almost 365 days bragging about how amazing they are. We are at the same time intricately con- nected to the teams we support and also separated enough that bragging about their accom- plishments is not like bragging about our own.
