January 8, 2012. Playa Royale, Mexico. Football.

It was the most unusual event, watching the Denver Broncos beat the Pittsburgh Steelers.   I foolishly assumed that the Steelers would beat the Broncos easily, but I was wrong.  It is actually fun to watch although I was rooting for Pittsburgh.  Since we moved away from the Washington area, we have lost our allegiance to the Redskins.   Our friends at the farm always cheer for the Steelers so for all those years, we have cheered for Pittsburgh, unless the Redskins were not involved.  So we switched our main cheering for the Steelers.

It is fascinating to watch the connection people have with the sports teams.    The Chicago Cubs have fans all over the country, even folks who have never lived there.  And college teams stay with everyone who attended that university.  It is one of the aspects of life in the US that brings people together.
