by Nicholas Beaudrot Due respect to the President, but all good-hearted Americans should root for the Arizona Cardinals. If the Steelers win, America will be subject to an insufferable Greek chorus of football pundits extolling the notion that Real Teams Win Football Games Through Defense And Running The Football, despite plenty of evidence that winning leads to rushing, not the other way around. In addition, we will again hear the virtues of the Real Americans living in Real Football Towns Pittsburgh and Cleveland, despite the fact that productivity increases mean the steel industry employs fewer than 20,000 people in Steel Town; most of the major employers outside of government are now banks and medical centers. End the Rust Belt Stereotype: Root for Arizona.
