super bowl football harbinger of inflation

fiction
Edward w Pritchard

Author loves Phoenix where this year's super bowl is to be held but anymore he just tolerates NFL football once the Love of his youth. If I were in Phoenix this weekend I'd rather be in the superstition Mountains, on a reservation,  or at the desert.

start:

8,000 for a ticket to a football game. Super bowl the game of the year, they do the game again and again this time February over February; it's the Game of the Century.

Too much money chasing too few tickets has driven up prices to where some one will pay 8,000 for a super bowl ticket. It must be true I read it on Yahoo news, there were no footnotes in explanation; $8,000 dollars to be stuck in traffic in Phoenix Arizona where the game is held and worry that someone will break into your car while you are in your expensive seat. There are lots of petty crimes in Phoenix, $ 8,ooo for a football ticket is one of them. Phoenix is a sur-real place to be.

Too much money chasing too few assets that's inflation. Some bureaucrats at the European union print up a bunch of Euro's to raise prices because the world is in fiscal trouble and some rich guys probably from Boston wanting to watch the New England Patriots win, but without a lot of common sense pay 8,000 for a football ticket. Hedge fund managers who just got a gigantic year end bonus using their wealth to drop out of the world and rather than go to a Monastery for a week to recharge, they go to a very expensive football Game to find enlightenment.

Patriots versus Seahawks. Patriots are favored by 1.5 [ .5? the game must be played with an under inflated ball.] How trite am I.

Let's see,
 Seattle is home to the football sea hawks, Microsoft, Starbucks and the 100 year old "night strangler" who lived under ground in the sunken sub-surface parts of Seattle, emerges every twenty one years to strangle six pretty girls in the 1970's movie with Darren McGavin  as Kolchak.

 The " Night Stalker " TV drama series, features monstrous serial killers with super human strength committing baffling violence while anti hero news paper reporter Kolchak battles the beauracracy and establishment while getting the girl, and displaying an off beat sense of humor, only to be foiled financially in the end being left flat broke and out of work. Sounds like the NFL, monstrous violence, crimes against women, and no job security for the unionized players.

New England Patriots? Our New Englanders fore-fathers took Phoenix from Mexico and subjugated the Native Americans. Business as usual in the 19th century; now football is just a Game. In Arizona these days il-legals can get their drivers license but they must sign an affidavit that they have car insurance. [ watch for Progressive's clever but  monotonous ads during the game] Native Americans in Arizona still make pottery for sale but live on Reservations where poverty is prevalent and oppressive. No, $8,000 tickets for Native Americans.

I'll watch most of the Game though I don't care who wins. I always skip half time. Chips, wings and beer from the dollar store while watching the Game on TV suit me just fine, No $ 8,000 tickets here. I fast forward through the NFL public opinion mandated domestic violence messages and ads; I never had that problem myself. Despite my incorrigibility against women I care about, no domestic violence here.

NFL super bowl football; I always enjoy the violence and mayhem, watching someone else earn a good living. Phoenix, Arizona where the Super bowl is held this year; monstrous vehicular violence, armed citizenry, and a sur-realistic place to be. The American heartland. Would that our next President was from there; where's Barry Goldwater when we need him?
