Soul Bowl

I just seen somethin on the front page of one of those free weekly papers. You know, the kind that be in the bin on the sidewalk. At any rate, this newspaper had the two black coaches on from the teams attending the superbowl on it and the quote underneath the picture that said "Soul Bowl". Question: What the hell? Why would you call it the soul bowl? When its two white coaches, did they call it a redneck bowl or the bleach bowl? Why did the two black coaches have to be apart of the "Soul Bowl"? It may as well have been called the underground railroad bowl or the soup bowl. But maybe Im the only one who thinks that this is a problem....

Wow, Soul Bowl huh? Just another ploy to minimize the signficance of such a wonderful accomplishments by two African American men. I must admit though, I was ecstatic about this year's Super Bowl because it would have inevitably been won under the leadership of a Black man. But what's really sad is that it's 2007 and this is a big deal. What has taken so long for Blacks to break through as coaches in the NFL, in any sports, in anything in this country. Well, anyway, that's enough complaining about that. What was the publication? I'll be sure not to read it again.

I honestly cant remember. It was just one of those Atlanta weekly newsletters that are in those little bins on the sidewalk.

Nah, it's not just you, that was very "unpaid agent of the Ku Klux Klannish".

the problems is, most people didn't even see anything wrong with it.
