A heroic effort

| | Comments (2)

Here's a good piece from Slate magazine, about the Saints big victory Sunday.

It concludes: "Drew Brees' first home game as the Saints' starting quarterback came in 2006, in the Superdome's grand reopening after Hurricane Katrina. While it's too pat to say the franchise's growth has mirrored the city's rebuilding, the team has been the one undeniable rallying point for post-Katrina New Orleans. That's not surprising: The Saints have always been a great uniter in an often-divided city. Too often, though, we were united because we all had bags over our heads. But on this night, for once, a heroic effort culminated in a historic win."

So, putting our differences aside and becoming one with shared ideals and commonality (the melting pot) is a key to rebuilding and sucess...So much for multi-culturalism and tolerance.
