Goofy terminology is everywhere to be found. In all cultures and all places. If you are American or someone that follows the modified gladiator version sporting event called the NFL games then you know what I mean.
A person or highly paid athlete who runs with a football on a 100 yard field is said to Rush. Yardage covered is rushing yards. There is a touchdown involved. Another goofy term.
Any way the usual annual pageantry called Super Bowl just wrapped up where they crowned a QB as a GOAT. More terminology that actually does not mean anything in terms of progressing the human race - it is just another capitalistic venture is all.
But the point of this blog is to highlight that before Brady (said QB) did his rushing or his opponent the young Mahomes tried to display his agility there was a more sinister game of ball that happened in this country.
Turns out that the outgoing President of these United States was not going to vacate the White Premises quietly. And the formality of getting the newcomer ('Prez-elect' per political terminology) anointed was underway at the Capitol building when some handicapped in the head types stormed the premises.
How that happened is subject of many to come Hollywood productions but they came with varying intents. Mainly to disrupt and threaten the democratic process this country has been accustomed to during transition of power at the federal level.
It is reported that during this melee the Veep (VP for incumbent Prez) displayed some amazing Rushing Yards of his own as he scrambled with the Nuclear Football to keep it out of the rioters hands (by accident). Any attempted seizure of the critical briefcase would have been a "massive and unprecedented security breach," an expert said, which is outright scary.
This is beyond comical and underscores the reality of the world we live in.
I think whatever your political affiliation there are just some really stupid traditions that need to be sacked.
Stop playing ball with the world's future I say.
