From the Economist: "In 2001 the [Mobile, Alabama] school superintendent gave out a dire warning: unless voters approved a property tax rise, he would have to cut the football programmes. The rise went ahead." Proving, once again, that (1) it's all about your priorities and (2) football FTW!

Well, duh! Having grown up in the Deep South, this article (sadly) did not cause me to bat an eye. Not that I undertand/agree with any of it, but football is like a religion down there. Ever heard of touchdown Jesus? LOL.
