3. Postponed? No way.
Don't you know that there's lots of money to be made on the games today. Millions of dollars in marketing, delivery pizza, and beer sales.

Greed is the religion of America.

Although, I'll admit. I'd be pissed if they cancelled the games.

There's no way they're going to cancel.

6. The Pope would want us to move on. We'll be brave.

7. But, but, but...the MSM Keeps Saying That We're This Hugely
Religious nation, and we're playing games on the day that the Pope died? What happened to our morals?

Or do morals only count when sex is involved?

10. I'm Confused
We're supposed to be the most religious nation in the Western World. So, why does Italy cancel their sporting events, and we go ahead with ours?
