Ken Hoffman has an interesting observation regarding Houston’s loss of the 2009 Super Bowl:
The thing I wonder about is, whenever Houston goes after a major event, we send the same tired group of people to represent us. I’ve never seen a group less representative of Houston. This is a vibrant, 21st-century, diverse, on-the-move city. Roy Rogers and Dale Evans left town years ago.
If I were an NFL team owner, and the Houston contingent came to my door, I’d put a piece of candy in their bag and send them away.
Chris Baker echoed a similar sentiment last week — that Houston is still seen as a city filled with rednecks. Maybe the ttweak people should handle the next Houston bid.
