Whoever has heard of the Northern Iowa University Panthers? (There are no panthers in Northern Illinois.) How did this team get to the Sweet Sixteen? This team is so poor that their names are not on the backs of their jerseys.
This little sports sharkbite is not really about Mr. F., but more about that he serves as a protagonist for people of stereotyped backgrounds, the press' reenforcement of stereotypes, and the heart of marginally funded teams, in general the underdog.
