NFL-spillere har taget en sjov hobby op, mens Trump gør sit comeback i Super Bowl – find ud af sjov fakt her!
NFL-spillere har i den seneste tid taget en usædvanlig hobby op for at forbedre deres spil. Når man kigger nøje, ligner spillerne på banen ofte skakbrikker, der bevæger sig strategisk under en play. Denne sjove sammenligning er en del af, hvordan spillere forsøger at udvikle deres strategiske tænkning. At tænke flere skridt frem og have en plan kan være forskellen mellem at tackle modstanderen eller lade dem score. Det viser, at det ikke kun handler om fysisk træning, men også mental forberedelse.
På den store dag, Super Bowl Sunday, er der dog også et mere alvorligt emne på spil: milliarder af skatteyderpenge. NFL-ejere har åbnet 20 nye stadions godtgjort af hele 4,7 milliarder dollars i skatteyderfunde fra 1997 til 2015. Det rejser spørgsmål om, hvorvidt sportsligares succes bør finansieres med offentlige midler. Hvor ville vi være, hvis vi i stedet kunne bruge disse penge til at forbedre vores lokale sportsklubber eller fællesskabsparker?
Og hvis vi taler om kontroverser, kan vi ikke undgå at nævne Donald Trump, der i spidsen for sit ambivalente forhold til NFL står klar til at overvære Super Bowl LIX. Det bliver første gang, at en siddende præsident deltager i denne store sportsbegivenhed, og forventningerne er høje, især med Kansas City Chiefs, der sigter mod en historisk tre-dobbelt Super Bowl-sejr mod Philadelphia Eagles. Trump har tidligere haft et kompliceret forhold til ligaen, og hans tilstedeværelse lover at tilføje endnu et lag af spænding til begivenheden.
Super Bowl er ikke blot en sportsbegivenhed, det er en kulturel institution, og med Trump i mixet lover det at blive... tja, lad os sige "underholdende". Mens vi tager stilling til, om NFL vil imødekomme befolkningens krav om forbedringer, kan vi også grine lidt af, hvordan spillere skifter fra græsbanen til skakbrættet for at finde inspiration til deres spil.
Jeg vil runde af med et par sjove facts: Vidste du, at NFL-dommere også får tildelt nummertrøjer for at blive let genkendt - ligesom spillerne? Desuden har Trump tidligere opfordret NFL-ejere til at fyre spillere, der ikke rejste sig under nationalsangen. Så vi kan forvente et spændende drama ud over selve kampen på søndag!
