Did you ever wonder why a sports team would have the name of “Giants” or “Angels”? The late Dolores Cannononce said that the extraterrestrials are fascinated by sports because of the emotion we elicit when both playing and watching them. We mistakenly assume that all forms of life share similar sets of emotions but this is not true.
Imagine looking at sports from an extraterrestrialperspective? If you’re at a stadium and the home team scores, most of the crowd will scream with jubilation while a smaller part of the visiting crowd will moan in discontent… all over a game.
I find it interesting that an American football game (Dallas vs. Jacksonville) was played in England on Remembrance Sunday, which is the English version of Veteran’s day. The intriguing part is how ALL sports boil down to the divide and conquer principle, which is basically “my tribe versus your tribe”…. or my country versus your country. To celebrate and/or remember the veterans of war through a game that promotes the divide and conquer principle is something that is not perceived by many people. We even see the “Cowboys vs. Indians” theme in American football when the Dallas Cowboys play the Washington Redskins or Kansas City Chiefs.
It makes me wonder if sports are being played on other inhabited planets and if so, are any similar to ours?
Another interesting facet about sports are the team names. In baseball, there are the San Francisco “Giants” and the Tokyo “Giants” while in American football, there are the New York “Giants”.
You’ll even find mythical creatures of lore such as the Westminster Griffins, Oneonta State Red Dragons and the Hutchinson Blue Dragons in collegiate sports; spiritual names such as the Los Angeles Angels, San Diego Padres, New Orleans Saints and Elon State Fighting Christians; esoteric names such as the Orlando Magic, New Orleans Voodoo and the Washington Mystics and cosmic names such as the Phoenix Mercury, San Antonio Stars, Dallas Stars, Houston Astros, Houston Comets, LA Galaxy and the Houston Rockets.
