To say I live in a pretty big sports town would be an understatement. It's been more than a week since the World Series ended, and everyone is still reeling from the Cardinals' improbable win.
Don't get me wrong: I follow the Cards, along with the Blues and (sometimes) the Rams. I don't write about it here, though I've had a post about being a woman and a sports fan stewing in my drafts folder for over a month. It's another piece of my life I feel I have to compartmentalize, and, to be honest, a bit guilty. To follow something so conspicuously dominated isn't something a "good feminist" should do. (There she is again, always judging.)
Songs with sports metaphors are always doomed to be hackneyed, but Kathleen Edwards's "Hockey Skates" is one that works.
