United States – Super Bowl 2014

February 3, 2014

Congratulations! To Seattle Sea Hawks led by coach Pete Carroll against Denver Broncos in the American football championship popularly known as Super Bowl event.

The spectacular win for Seattle Sea Hawks is a matter of state and national pride.

The Denver Broncos sportsmanship and competitiveness induced thrill for millions of football fans in the United States and around the world.

Super Bowl as national occasion arouses excitement in sports circle especially among football enthusiasts and commercial broadcasters capitalizing on opportunity to attract massive audience attention.   The much anticipated moment facilitates lucrative deals in the multi-billion dollar industry.

The exorbitant income from Super Bowl and similar major national or international activities – Olympics and World competitions boost private sector profits and allocating some portion towards investments in fortifying sport culture could contribute to healthy nation and economic development. 

Sport promotes diplomacy and cultural exchange alleviating tensions between nations unlike some political initiatives aimed at exacerbating crises. 

However, image tarnishing scandals like match fixing, performance enhancing substance among athletes and other controversies viz. corruption involving organizers create unwanted impediments for successful hosting to showcase national potential. 

Unfortunately sports are also targeted with terrorism to maintain status quo on false flag operations such as 9/11 curtailing freedom and normal lifestyle.

Sports could be instrumental in voicing dissent on human rights violation in Bahrain and Qatar as Grand Prix and FIFA sponsors respectively. 

Likewise extending campaign for the oppressed and persecuted in Saudi Arabia, occupied Palestine, Myanmar, Tibet, Sri Lankan Tamils  and several parts of the world would expedite independence, political representation and economic as well as social equality.

Notwithstanding pressure on major powers to end conflict in Syria, CAR, South Sudan along with troop withdrawal from Afghanistan, Korean Peninsula and horn of Africa.

The result-oriented actions could then stifle burgeoning violence in Iraq, Lebanon, Libya, Egypt and countries experiencing relentless terror operations emanating from mission based on 9/11.

In conclusion, the real and functioning democracy would not curb free speech on issues including 9/11 reinvestigations leading to political transformation premised on transparency and accountability. 

Cheers! To Super Bowl winner and contender in 2014. 

Peace to all!

Thank you.
