This political cartoon is representative of the Super Bowl this past year. There was a popular incident in which many believed the Patriots deflated the ball on purpose to help them win the game. Many contradictions were posed in result of this assumption all surrounding the upcoming Super Bowl. This cartoon shows the assumption that the referee was in on the scheme and allowed the ball to have low pressure regardless of the violations it posed for the game. One of the players is depicted as annoyed and as an elephant, which usually stands for a Republican. This shows how this issue transcended into a political problem due to the view points surrounding it and how it can possibly reflect on the political affiliation of the teams. I enjoyed this cartoon because it reflected a large issue that was at hand just a few weeks ago and it utilizes a socially relevant topic to political issues. It was also very effective in getting its point across to represent the contraversy at hand.
