The erosion of the safe, family-friendly, midwestern values of Cincinnati, continues.
It doesn’t matter what nationally known talking head/blow hard or media outlet – or their political leans – drags the name of our city through the mud almost two weeks after the fight. It doesn’t matter if you can’t see through your politically seized lenses and refuses to accept that our name is now waste to the outside world.
It happens, people, and it is painful to look. We need something good to happen. Something big.
We need the Reds to make the late season and to win a Playoff series for the first time since 1995.
It is not the task of the media to have it for local teams. I have given the lead by saying that Cincinnatians should not be worried about what is being said about Cincinnati at national level. Come about your inferiority complex.
However, this is different.
Where else could that seismic reputation shift come from, except the Reds, Bengal and FC Cincinnati? Usually our professional sports teams have us in the national and international spotlights, in front and opponent.
As a caring citizen I am rooted hard for a play -off run from Reds. The Bengal start with 2-0 in the midst of the play-off push of a Reds would be great.
For you and your family. For us. For Cincinnati.
A friend called this in a telephone conversation last week. We talked about the role that sport can play in times of social unrest.
Some cases that sports have been a positive distraction in difficult times, walked through my head. I don’t even want to mention those times, because some of them were unspeakable, massacasuality strides. There is no comparison here. Thank goodness, no one died in the fight of the center of Cincinnati who went viral on social media at the end of last month and continues to throw a pall about our honest city.
So I don’t want to exaggerate things. But we are no longer. We feel the tiredness of watching local and national news websites, engaging the TV, going on social media and seeing the last fall -out of the fight. It is something new (or repeated) every day. It’s constant. We need something to pick up.
“Imagine how we will feel like the Reds make an late season in October?” said my friend.
I thought about what he said since. Sport cannot resolve the government’s disability, and the ideals that every floor in the town hall of Cincinnati occupy and their inability to give priority to public security, form a large part of the fault of why crime and the over-the-drained has become unbridled.
A Play -Off Run from Reds may not let the Town Hall circumvent the accountability. Even a World Series championship is not allowed to give anyone in the city council a good feeling about the work they have done to keep the city safe.
But a play -off run from Reds would certainly help to restore our national reputation and give those among us who live here to collect. A couple of talented young players who play hard can get along and are led by a Hall of Fame-bound manager who makes a play-off run for a long-suffering sports city in a time when the reputation of the city suffers. That is a great boost.
No matter how superficial it sounds, we need those heads of the Commerce Chamber in the National Media: Haag on a ‘Reds’ October: Cincinnati wins the first Playoff series in 30 years!
Do you remember how great our community felt during the run of the Bengal to the Super Bowl in 2022? You could not go anywhere without people talking about it. Everyone ran to Kochs and Dick’s to buy Bengals hats and hoodies. Everyone wanted copies of Enquirer front pages to frame. It didn’t matter if you had never watched a Bengals match whether that hadn’t done for many years. You were in it. Your friends who were not even football fans.
We had buried, chase, Higgins and Hope. We had something that Greater Cincinnatians united. It didn’t cost something bad in our streets to do that.
We need that as soon as possible. I recently called the Reds boring. They are no longer after making movements on the Trade Deadline and showing signs that they can stay in the Dikke of the National League Wildcard Race. Immerse yourself in the Terry Francona team and forget what is being said about the city on social media and on Fox News.
Tito, Elly, McLain, Abbott, Steer, Tj. The city needs you to win. It means so much more now.
