More brilliance from Better Living
Negotiations between the National Football League owners and the Players Association were at an impasse. The owners locking out the players seemed all but inevitable, along with suspension of the 2011 season. Then the goddess Athena stepped in. Taking the form of U.S. District Judge David Doty, she ordered the two sides to come to terms. Peace was restored.
If you’ve been following the negotiations, you’ll recognize this as a fantasy. After all, owners and players haven’t budged for months. Because of Judge Doty’s ruling last week, however, there is some hope that the fantasy could come true. I invoke Athena because, in the concluding scene of The Odyssey, she intervenes to resolve a situation that is just as bleak.
