It has come to my notice that several American football coaches have discussed Communism this week.
This may be a surprise to many who assume that being dead should serve as some serious barrier to experiencing anything. It would seem to be an especially formidable obstacle to enjoying sport, which relies so much on the power of the proletariat to unite and move towards a common objective.
To my surprise, being dead has only improved my enjoyment and understanding of many sports, especially that of American football. It has been especially helpful in understanding Michigan State football, a team whose play to the dead mind evokes the endless, haunting, but beautiful silence of the void perfectly.
