I don’t begrudge the questioning of holding a football game during a once-in-a-century pandemic, but something stood out to me while I watched it today. There were a lot of commercials that centered around sustainability—either referencing climate change or nodding to the powerful polarity within our society. I don’t ever remember a Super Bowl featuring such somber commercials. It was good to see that, not that it was happy or fun, but that it shows our society gets it, that people get it. I believe most people are good, that they want good things for themselves and their family, and that they wish good for others and the world. For how messed up some of our institutions within society are right now, there’s solace in the fact that most people do in fact get it. If we remember that, we will emerge from these hard times not only kinder, but wiser, and eventually, in a better world. We can do this. We can create a better world for our children and grandchildren. Time to play ball.
