Buffalo, NY, a city that knows how to handle snow, is buried under an uncharacteristic heavy snowfall. In some places, it's said that the accumulation is up to 6 feet. People are literally unable to their doors open; some house walls are collapsing under the weight.
Good old American ingenuity comes through, however. The Buffalo Bill's NFL team is organizing a massive snow shoveling. To help clear roads for traffic? Encouragement to shovel a path to your neighbor's front door? To get help to the elderly widow across the street?
Naah. Nothing like that. They're asking people to come help clear snow out of the football stadium so Sunday's game can go on.
I guess that defines America, huh? Football above all? Forget the widow. Forget the concussions. We love us some football, don't we?
Not me.
