Super Bowl LV. (draft).

Sunday (7/2/21) saw America hold the Fifty Fifth Super Bowl.

Played between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Kansas City Chiefs: The Champions of the American Football Conference (AFC) they went into the game as reigning Super Bowl Champions. Having won in 2020.

The Chiefs are, of course, not from the Kansas City in the State of Kansas. They are from the Kansas City in the neighbouring, southern, State of Missouri.

This confusion over the Chiefs location is likely to be most severe amongst America's liberal elite. Making up the real America both Kansas and Missouri are amongst those 46 anonymous States somewhere in the middle. 

They are though often dismissed by the elites as; "The Fly-Over States." The ones they annoyingly have to fly over to get between the coastal paradises of New York and California.

Kansas State is home to former US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. 

Alongside the likes of Dick & Liz Cheney, John F. Bolton, John McCain and others Pompeo makes up the Republican Establishment. Forged under President Reagan and his rantings about Iran and Trickle Down Economics.

Making them almost indistingushable from the Democrat Party.

The Chiefs were playing in a uniform of red and white. Red helmets. Red jerserys, jackets or coats. White pants.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers: The National Football Conference (NFC) Champions.

They are from the State of Florida. Now the home State of former(ish) President Trump.

The Buccaneers star player is Super Bowl legend Tom Brady. Who was playing in his tenth Super Bowl. Which is nearly 6% of all the Super Bowls there have ever been.

Although for nine of those Super Bowls Tom Brady was playing for the New England Patriots.

So now Tom Brady has brought the Buccaneers to the Super Bowl. You could almost describe them as; "The New Patriots."

The Buccaneers are also really the most ethnically diverse and inclusive team in the National Football League (NFL). 

All three of their head coaches are Black men. While their squadrons of assistant coaches feature two women. Including Maral Javadifar who is of Iranian heritage.

The Buccaneers played in a uniform of White. Although not exclusively White. Their White jerseys were complimented by Black helmets and Black pants.

In a Super Bowl first the Buccaneers were playing at their home ground. The Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida.

Apparently this wasn't the result of some pre-ordained plan. It was just the luck of the draw.

In The Game the Chiefs took an early three point lead. After doing whatever you need to do in American Football to score three points.

Shortly afterwards the Buccaneers scored a Touch Down. Giving them seven points and the lead. The rest of the game was really just the Buccaneers building on that lead.

Now I really don't understand American Football. Which, at this point, is something that's starting to resemble a learning disability.

However it never looked to me as though the Chiefs were ever going to catch, let alone beat the Buccaneers. Despite the Chiefs spectacular comeback in the 2020 Super Bowl.

And so it was. With the Buccaneers beating the Chiefs 31-9.

Making the Buccaneers 2021 Super Bowl Champions. And Tom Brady a seven time Super Bowl Champion.

Something which, looking at it in the wider context, never seemed like a surprise

The Super Bowl is, of course, so much more than an American Football game. It is a vast spectacle which, along with the Oscars, is part of America's loosely political, social conversation.

Similar to the role the Eurovision Song Contest performs within Europe. Or the Olympics performs globally.

So alongside the Game you have a Pre-Game Show and a Half-Time Show. All interspersed with a multitude of specially produced, one-off, commercials.

Frustratingly the UK broadcaster, the BBC, doesn't broadcast the Pre-Game Show. 

Mainly this is because it normally begins at 11pm UK time. Which is when the BBC 1 channel is showing its soccer highlights show. 

Cutting into coverage of Britain's national sport to show some American thing we don't understand. That's not something that's going to go down well. 

This year the BBC decided to be particularly infuriating. Starting their Super Bowl coverage at 11pm on the BBC 2 channel. 

Yet still refused to broadcast any of the Pre-Game Show. Instead sticking to studio based pundits.

I have since been able to piece together what I think are the main performances of the Pre-Game Show. Although I suppose I'm just going to have to guess at the running order.

Chorus of the Captains: A short poem by America's Youth Poet Laureate Amanda Gorman.

Officially this was dedicated to three appointed; "Captains." Essential workers who have helped their communities and the nation during the pandemic;

Nurse and military veteran James Martin. Educator Trimaine Davis. Nurse Manager Suzie Dorner. 

That's not really why Amanda Gorman was there though. She was really there to revist her performance at the alleged Presidential Inaugaration.

I hate to break it to you. "The Hill We Climb" wasn't actually that good. Even for a youth poet.

The flippant comment would be that it didn't rhyme. However the real problem was that it lacked a rhythmic structure.

I don't mean that it lacked the traditional rhythmic structure of long dead White poets like John Keats. 

It lacked a rhythmic structure of its own. Constantly slipping, sliding and stuttering all over the place. Sadly not an intentional metaphor for the difficulties of climbing a hill. 

Also it really didn't have much to say in terms of offering an incisive commentary. Instead just offering vapid platitudes that make people feel good about themselves.

That last point is hardly suprising. With Amanda Gorman citing Maya Angelou as a major influence.

Maya Angelou was another poet who really has very little to offer. Beyond vapid platitudes. Her success is really the result of her being included on school and college syllabuses. 

Part of a concerted effort by Liberals to re-write America's racial history for poiltical gain.

Although I should make clear that I'm referring to the specific political doctrine of; "Liberalism." Not the term; "liberal" as it is commonly used. The two very rarely coincide.

At around 18:05 on 8/2/21 (UK date) I'll pick this up later. When words start making sense again.

Edited at around 20:30 on 8/2/21 (UK date) to copy & paste;

The history of racial politics in America has always been the Republican Party trying to give rights to ethnic minorities, particularly Black people. In the face of, sometimes extremely violent, resistance from the Democrat Party.

If we assume that the current era is still to be written. Then the most recent chapter in America's racial politics was the Civil Rights Era.

This was really born in the Second World War. Where the military draft and battle field conditions forced Americans of different races together. Leading to the US military to be formally desegregated in 1948.

Then in 1954 the Brown v Board of Education forced the desegregation of schools. 

However in the face of Democrat opposition it took until 1957 for the ruling to actually be enforced. With Federal Military forces having to be sent to Little Rock, Arkansas. To put down an armed Democrat insurrection.

The real history of the Civil Rights Era is actually a battle within the Democrat Party. The Liberal faction won out at the 1968 convention.

They then set about re-writing that history to erase the Democrats negative role. Including by things like adding Maya Angelou to school and college syllabuses.

I think that if you ask Americans about the Civil Rights Era the answer you'll get is this almost childlike bedtime story. About Rosa Parks sitting on a bus and Martin Luther King Jr single handedly ending racism.

Obviously I'm not saying that Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King Jr had no role in the Civil Rights Era. Martin Luther King Jr was certainly the one who got the thing over the line.

However it's important to remember that the Civil Rights Era certainly didn't start with Martin Luther King Jr. As it's important to remember that he also had a lot of White Republicans standing behind him, pushing him forwards.

Despite Liberals attempts to erase that from history.

Likewise many Americans will tell you the Three Fifths Compromise was the Republicans saying that a Black man are worth only 3/5ths of a White man. It really wasn't.

It was the Democrats insisting they could own Black men as property. Then cast votes on behalf of the human property they owned. Until the Republicans forced them to cast votes on behalf of only 3/5ths of the Black men they owned.

Amanda Gorman's appearence at the alleged Inauguration was intended to highlight this historical revisionism. 

From that I'm sure you can draw a talking point. About America's teaching unions and pandemic school closures.

Particularly in her yellow coat it Amanda Gorman was also intended to highlight the Opening Ceremony of the 2018 Winter Olympics. Held in PyeongChang, South Korea.

I think the 2018 Winter Olympics largely passed America by. They were distracted from it by the Parkland School Shooting.

That was perhaps fortunate for some in America. The 2018 Winter Olympics was just the World rounding on America for its false claims of Russian Interference in the 2016 Election.

The consensus being that was an attempt by the Democrats at rigging the 2016 Election. Following almost the exact tactics used in the rigging of the 2012 South Korean election.

The 2018 Winter Olympic Opening Ceremony particularly introduced the World to the Animist concept of the Wu Xing. The five essential elements the universe is made up of. Which must be kept in balance.

This is similar to the Tree of Life concept within Judaism. That God is the universe and the universe is God. So everything in the universe is also God.

It is also similar to the Logos concept with the philosophy of Stoicism. God's movement of the elements of the universe.

These are ideas that modern, conventional Physics has begun to try and explain. Through Quantum Field Theory.

Whatever you call it. It appears that all the political pressures of late 2019 went up into the universe. Then came back to us in the form of COVID-19.

That is very much the sort of thing that gets discussed at the Olympics. Unfortunately we weren't able to have a 2020 Summer Olympics. Due entirely to COVID-19.

Within the Wu Xing these five essential elements are each represented by an individual colour. The section of the Opening Ceremony which dealt with the yellow element was very similiar to Amanda Gorman's performance at the alleged Inauguration. In her yellow coat.

It featured four South Korean music stars, from different eras. Uniting to sing a version of John Lennon's vapid platitude filled musical poem; "Imagine." 

Accompanied by videos sent in by musicians across the globle and dancers forming symbols of peace. Such as the Peace Sign and Doves.

It was very much intended to mock the Liberal revisionism and the bedtime stories of the likes of Maya Angelou.

In delivering her new poem in a pre-recorded video Amanda Gorman was wearing another statement coat. A formal business suit like jacket. In blue and embossed with rhinestones.

At around 20:40 on 8/2/21 (UK date) that will have to be all for today.
