Silence At Super Bowl

From THE ASSOCIATED PRESS:
MIAMI - A moment of silence was held shortly before Sunday’s Super Bowl to honor the 20 central Florida residents who died last week after a series of tornadoes hit the area.
The storms struck early Friday morning. According to some estimates, there were hundreds of damaged buildings and at least $68 million dollars in damage.
The situation in central Florida prompted Governor Crist to cancel plans he had to attend the Super Bowl. Crist watched the game in Tallahassee with firefighters.
Billy Joel and Marlee Matlin performed the national anthem immediately after the moment of silence.

The moment of silence at the Super Bowl was very appropriate. However, I didn’t hear silence at the game. It seemed when I was watching that I heard a lot of chatter and laughter. What a terrible lack of respect.
