I didn't care either way. At first, the fact that Cruz is a rican tipped me over to the Giants. Then I heard that Hernandez is also a boricua. So after that I just enjoyed the game.

I can't wait until Marquez gets on his level and makes Jorge trip on his tampon string.

I'll take it down if you like.

It's a reference to the fact that the league prints up shirts for both teams.

The shirts with the losing team's logos get shipped overseas.

Why does the reference to extra shirts translate to little black kids?.........

There are poor under clothed white people everywhere.

Would it be somehow better if it were a picture of poor, under-clothed white kids (or Hispanic, or Indian, or Asian, or...)?

There's poor, under-clothed people of all races and creeds, and I'm unsure how picking one variety over another changes the relative value of the picture.

I'm not sure if it makes it 'better'

...and you're right...

poverty is color blind.

It just seems that the little black African kid is always the poster child...and that seems wrong.

I have way more questions than answers.

The NFL prints up shirts for both teams, then they ship the losing teams shirts to 3rd world countries.  They don't want them ending up in countries that have potential NFL viewers, so generally they ship to the pacific island, asia or africa.

Also, that particular pic is a popular internet meme.  I'm not defending it, or saying it's morally right, just pointing out that the poster was just re-posting a pic that has spread like wildfire across the rest of the internet.

Again, some (many) would find it in bad taste, but I just wanted to provide a little more background to the pic, it is very, very doubtful that the OP created that pic.

To get back on topic, I also want to add that the San Francisco Forty Niners are going to win next years super bowl as karma because they should've won this years.  I'm unamused, ugh.

The 'creator' of the pic wasn't the question, nor the motive of the poster.

I'm just pointing out what I perceive.

Yeah, I'd have enjoyed seeing them go all the way. I suppose I'll just have to take "the Pats didn't win" as a consolation prize.
