If you read the post below this one (Super Bowl 2010 By Dick) you may already know that the Saints have won their first Super Bowl in franchise history. As you may, or may not know, the Saints are from New Orleans. And as you may, or may not know, New Orleans was struck by Hurricane Katrina in 2005. In the week leading up to the Super Bowl, all the T.V. stations were showing things about New Orleans and reminding us of the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina. Things still aren't the same in certain places of New Orleans since the hurricane, and its been almost 5 years!
The saddest part of the whole dam thing is that we wouldn't even be reminded of all this if the Saints didn't make it in the Super Bowl!!! If Brett Favre didn't do what Brett Favre does, it would be the Vikings in the Super Bowl instead of the Saints. So instead, we would be hearing about crap that goes on in Minnesota (which is nothing cause its freaking cold!). We still have problems going on in New Orleans, and we need to be reminded of them because of a football team??
I don't like when people say that the New Orleans Saints should win the Super Bowl because of what the people in New Orleans went through. There is an actual story being reported that a guy had lost his faith in God after the hurricane, but now believes in God because of the Saints. This is freaking ridiculous, and its almost retarded to report something like that. I'm still not sure how football and hurricane destruction fit together (besides of course, The University of Miami Hurricanes). I'm not saying that it won't bring happiness to the people of New Orleans, but that happiness can only last so long. I'd rather be sad inside my house then happy and homeless.
I am all for Help For Haiti, but we have to Help For New Orleans......... you have to help yourself before you can help others.

I dont agree, I think the city and the fans of New Orleans do deserve this championship. First of all, the stadium for the Saints was used as a shelter for the survivors of Hurricane Katrina. That team, including the players, brought in so much money into that city. The team brought the community together and their fans supported them all the way. You can argue that they dont deserve it because thats just pity on a natural disaster, but you can agree that they are good fans. Its like being happy for Chicago Cub fans if they ever win a championship. The Saints fans are hardcore. That city has heart (ask Willie how its measured).
I Def get what Ariel is saying and it is true. It's the concept that people I don't know if it's now a days or maybe it's been the same always but you can't treat shit like it's the flavor of the week! It shouldn't take an event for us to look back and check up on the status of anything, and yes it is definitely stupid to put things like football and loss or religion or whatever on the same pendulum. It's I guess an issue of morality. But all in all I am absolutely glad that they won because I also agree with Dick that New Orleans the shit!
