For the umpteenth time, I watch the coach of the Seahawks get raked over the coals for a decision he made during a football game. The team lost. Granted, it was the Super Bowl. However, it was a game, period!

At approximately the same time, a Jordanian pilot was burned to death by the Islamic State.

Why are we outraged by a bad decision during a football game, but not appalled by the death of a human being at the hands of religious fanatics?

Why have American values become so distorted? Get over it. It’s a football game!
