The middle school kid in me

Chalk it up to the middle school kid in me.

A few years ago when I lived in Oklahoma there was a debate concerning cock fighting.

In the South East part of the state cock fighting was a major source of income for some people, and while the urban crowd wanted the sport banned, the rural people saw it differently.

A fellow teacher’s cousin was the state senator from that part of the state, and, knowing the importance of cockfighting there, he was fighting to keep it legal, and, short of that, making some modifications to it so it would be more humane and less objectionable.

He was serving the best interests of his constituents, after all.

One method involved electronic “boxing gloves” that, like in fencing, would register a hit preventing the birds from having to kill each other in bloody combat with those small blades.

It was rural vs urban, and a regular story on the local evening news.

In a sexually repressed state it was interesting to watch how awkward the newscasters and reporters were when they covered the story because of how many times they had to say the word “cock” as if it did not have a second meaning.

It wasn’t clear if the people covering the story and the legislators who we debating the bill and its compromise were uncomfortable saying the word, or if they were relieved the discussion gave them an excuse to see how many times they could get away with saying it in the shortest period of time.

After the New England Patriots’ big win in the championship heading toward the Super Bowl, I spent a day cleaning my house, and had the television droning in the background.

Ball-gate was a major topic on the news shows, and even on the daytime talk shows.

The sentences that kept coming up were ones like “The patriots deflated their balls”, “It was easier to catch the passes with deflated balls”, and, “The question is whether or not the Patriots purposely deflated their balls to make them easier to handle”.

I’m sorry, it just struck me funny in a cock fighting sort of way.
