What would I have done if The University of Alabama's Crimson Tide had made it to the BCS bowl championship tonight instead of the Auburn Tigers? The game is being played in Glendale, Arizona, and I am boycotting Arizona over the anti-immigration laws (and now their lax gun laws and their removal of patients awaiting organ transplantation from their state insurance coverage). That would have been a true challenge of my convictions!! It is hard not to watch simply because there is a football game on television right now.
I was even conflicted about continuing my boycott of Arizona after the events of Saturday. Shouldn't I stand with the citizens of Arizona in this time of crisis, standing with the better nature of themselves? My brother encouraged me to stand by my convictions, as the shooting could have happened in any state at any time.
Plus, on the lighter side, it is easier for me to support the Auburn Tigers if I don't
actually see them on the field!
