The Football Game of the Century
The Football Game of the Century
By Elton Camp
So now it’s over and Alabama won
But was it really all that much fun?
How silly it is, I just have to mention
To give a child’s game such attention
Rather, it makes me ask the reason why
Sports in general so many folks glorify
They act as it is their very fondest dream
To measure their self-worth by some team
How much better off society would be
If, of sports fanaticism, we became free
Many serious injuries to players does bring
And from it, corrupt gambling does spring
When I hear “Roll Tide,” I will merely shrug
Far as I’m concerned football is only humbug
