So last week Ryan posted a link to a story saying that the Vikings NFC Championship shirts were being shipped to Haiti to help the relief effort. That got me thinking though…knowing that they may be receiving the championship game loser shirts, should the Haitians have been backing Brett Favre and the Vikings?
Just think, the Saints’ logo is the fleur-de-lis, a prominent symbol of French culture, and New Orleans is rich in creole culture, much like Haiti, which happens to be a French speaking nation. Both places also had devastating natural disasters hit them in the past 5 years.
Instead, Haiti, a country that is 95% black, gets shirts with a drawing of a blonde white guy on them….a team that plays in Minnesota, which is about as much anti-Haiti as you can get.
So, assuming they don’t care about football, and that tomorrow’s Super Bowl loser shirts will also be going to Haiti, I’m guessing they will be pulling hard for the Colts…that is, unless they have a thing for blue horse shoes.
