I don't know why, but I find this hilarious.

Did you see this?
Let me preface this post by saying that I love football. Love it. Watch it every Sunday, Monday, and sometimes Thursday.
But seriously? The Pittsburgh school system is on 2 hour delay this morning because of the Super Bowl. What the...? Look, I get that the school systems are probably harder on the kids than they used to with more homework and whatnot and that the kids probably deserve a break wherever they can get them. And I get that kids need their sleep to learn better and blah blah blah... But for football? Even I thinks that's ridiculous.
"But Ben, you live in Cincinnati where Reds opening day is like a holy day and kids are taken out of school to go see the parade and attend the game. Isn't that the same thing?"
Um, no. I don't get that whole opening day thing either (Hello? It's one of 81 games they play there every year), but it's not like the schools shut down for it. What about the kids (and parents) who could care less about football? Maybe I was raised different. Maybe I just put a higher value on education because I got a fantastic one, but this just strikes me as wrong.
Stay classy, Pittsburgh.
