What does it say about us as a people that we assign police escorts to every college football coach in the nation? At every game!
It’s a football game… It isn’t a debate between future elected leaders. These are football coaches!
Are we really a nation of people ready to attack our football coaches at a moment’s notice if things don’t go our way?
Do we really want to be? It’s just a game.
And if we aren’t that kind of people, then what’s it for?
To show status? “I’m important enough for a police escort, and you’re not.” Is that it?
At what level does one become important enough to warrant a police presence at all times?
Wouldn’t security guards be enough to protect these men (yes, they are almost all men)?
Surely the police and state troopers have better things to do than this…
It just goes to show how much importance we’ve put on certain trivial institutions in our society.
