This is the perfect Super Bowl for Miami, the nation’s capital for cocaine and Cubans.
In honor of the city’s longstanding taste for metaphorical snow (just ask former MIami Dolphins offensive line coach, Chris Foerster), each offense is headstrong, energetic and unrelenting while the defenses are helmed by cocky, self-assured leaders.
As for Miami’s Cuban population, which accounted for 34.4 percent of the city’s residents in 2010, there will be no Maroon 5 performance this year. Instead, Miami’s Latino community, which accounts for about 70 percent of the city, has merited Super Bowl debuts from the ethnically Puerto Rican Jennifer Lopez and Colombian Shakira.
