… is blogging about basketball.
Of course, this was inevitable, because college basketball is inherently a liberal sport. There’s no sports analogue for welfare and affirmative action better than the “atuomatic bid” system that allows small conference champions into the NCAA tournament, giving them the same chance at the title as teams from the power conferences.
College football on the other hand, is the quintessentially conservative sport, at least in the modern Republican sense of “conservative.” Two teams are hand-picked from the power conferences to play for the “championship,” while everybody else is locked out. The rich get richer, and the poor play in the Humanitarian Bowl a week before Christmas.
Hockey, of course, represents libertarianism.
