I was happy to see our Saints win, finally. And by that, I mean win a championship and win a spot in the Superbowl. When the victory happened it sounded like New Year’s Eve outside - fireworks were going off everywhere. People were overjoyed.
And that’s a great thing. It’s great for the team, but in a way it’s actually great for the city: it shows us that we can accomplish just as much as any other city.
There was a time when all babies in New Orleans were born with brown paper bags over their heads because the Saints were so awful. We called the the “Aints”, and expected to do badly each season. Now, I think we’re going to have more optimism and confidence - and higher expectations.
In terms of the “city”, I hope those feelings spill over into our everyday lives. What if (as a city) we had those feelings about possibilities in the local economy, technology, education, and the other number of spheres that will shape our city for years to come? Well, we’d go further in prosperity and quality of life.
And while it might seem like I’m stretching a simple football victory into something it can’t be (i.e. the very definition of quality of life in N.O.) I don’t think it’s much of a stretch: every event influences everything it touches.
So we might not see a huge change in life, just because we have a winning team. But I’d like to believe that things improve for everyone, just a little bit, across the board.
