Tennessee plays Alabama today. I am from Tennessee. My father is from Alabama. We will watch the game together. It's a natural tradition. Never forced. Likely the last time I watch it with him. He's not well.
It's just a silly game.
But we all care. It's important.
Perhaps it represents time together. The outcome of the game doesn't change life or alter a destiny. It's a privilege to experience. It is the stars aligning. No war. No tragedy. No despair. No loss of liberty. It's a game, but it represents an important perspective of peace and life.
Find your loved ones and create a tradition around this game. Be human. Everyone wins.
Tennessee vs. Alabama. For my dad.
When did underscore become a human being?
I always just assumed he was a troll bot or something.
(just kidding bud, excellent post and great perspective. My mom's whole family is from Alabama and she loves the Tide but watches my son all the time and dresses him in Vol gear every opportunity she gets just so she can send me a picture of it. I hate that team with every fiber of my being and yet there are multiple people I love who root for them like I root for UT)
