Senator Obama’s extraordinary popularity has been compared with that of rock stars and other celebrities, but we might also liken it to the popularity of sports figures. I bring that up because I’ve been thinking about how die-hard fans of “Team Obama” might celebrate what at this point is shaping up to be their victory.
I hope they do so more peacefully than sports fans sometimes celebrate their championship wins. All too often, those celebrations spin out of control, with over-exuberance leading to injuries and general mayhem.
A simple request: More good sportsmanship than hooliganism, please.
