No 2010 Super Bowl? Life goes on
The Chronicle editorialists are upset that Houston was not awarded the 2010 Super Bowl:
National Football League team owners' decision to award the 2010 Super Bowl to Miami is yet another indication that their main criterion is cash or splash. In sizing up candidates to host the game, the two operative questions are: How much money can you make for the league, and how good a time can you show us and our friends?
Yeah. Were the editorial idealists so naive as to think otherwise?
Even with the expensive choo-choo train, Houston doesn't compare that well to other Super Bowl cities. Bob McNair got one because of the exorbitant amount he paid to become a member of the NFL owner's club, but it's going to be hard to secure another one. Fortunately, the self-esteem and daily lives of most Houstonians who are not members of the Chronicle editorial board will be wholly unaffected.
