Sports As Metaphor

Fingers of fate

(Wally Skalij/Los Angeles Times/December 25, 2009)
Cleveland's Jamario Moon, LeBron James and Mo Williams watch foam fingers fly around the court as Lakers fans protest a technical foul against their team in the fourth quarter Friday.

Some in the Staples Center crowd litter the court with souvenir foam fingers and plastic bottles late in the Christmas Day game.

And on X-mess, for gawd's sake! Can we draw any conclusion at all from this? Is it more than the drunken/drugged & privileged being rowdy? Can we hope the new yr. will bring more hate, pain, rage, anger, fear, & nasty-to-violent rudeness? Obviously we're pulling for it, but is it grasping at straws to give weight to this?
