It's not anti-sports either. It just mocks the way sports fans have overinflated confidence in their teams, even if they're not that great.

also it's not a parody.

I'd rather he didn't play parodies non-stop.

So does this mean that our dreams our crushed? ;n;

Well that sucks. Maybe Chris Martin will take things into his own hands...

If Al didn't perform "Sports Song" at the SuperBowl, it would pretty much defeat the entire purpose of his writing that song

It's interesting that Al said there was zero chance of that happening. So maybe this whole petition thing was in response to that remark, which makes me feel dumb for having hope. I think if Al were to actually make an appearance he'd have to reconsider that imaginary Setlist a bit. And while Sports Song may have been written ironically with all that in mind, the song didn't turn out as epic as it might have been in theory.

I thought Sports Song and the Super Bowl song were two different things

Chris could always let Al play the Halftime Show with Coldplay.

So the top three choices are being asked to PAY THE NFL in order to perform. This is all kinds of stupid. There's even backlash coming from the general public. Could this maybe give Al's petition a much-needed boost?
