What a filthy, wretched place Seattle has deteriorated into, due largely to immature leftist voters getting the politicians they deserve. The overwhelmed mayor is like a little, misguided girl in an ugly grown-up body. Under her, ahem, \u201cleadership,\u201d socialist Seattle has little \u201cvital spirit.\u201d<\/p>

Nevertheless, a prominent stadium recently unveiled an ugly statue bearing that name. Vital Spirit<\/em> is the peculiar appellation for a Bigfoot-tall bronze statue that is defiling the North Plaza of Lumen Field. It was placed conspicuously to welcome fans for the World Cup matches to be hosted there (under the name of Seattle Stadium, per FIFA rules).<\/p>\n

Thankfully, I\u2019m no artsy-fartsy type so I simply can\u2019t appreciate the abstract \u201cart.\u201d I\u2019m at the mercy of this local news outlet that informs: \u201c[it] has curves on one side and hard edges on the other representing the male and female forms.\u201d I\u2019d never have known\u2026.<\/p>\n

What an androgynous obscenity masquerading as art. It\u2019s Seattle, so, presumably, the hard edges represent the screeching females who are constantly ornery. The soft, curvy parts might reflect the nearby residents of Capitol Hill who are known for being pastel proud<\/em>, if you know what I mean.<\/p>\n

By today\u2019s Seattle standards, that is considered Vital Spirit \u2014 God help us. Remember those unsightly Teletubby creatures who were a bit light in the loafers? Well, this \u201cVital Spirit\u201d statue is equally nondescript. In that sense, the unwelcoming bronze eyesore probably does reflect the current zeitgeist of sordid socialist Seattle.<\/p>

The sculpture’s artist maintains that the \u201cabstract design represents the idea of the coming together of the peoples of the world. The spirit of which the World Cup represents.\u201d I think he has that confused with the Olympic Games, which does, on occasion, elicit such \u00c9lan vital<\/em>. The World Cup is more likely to generate divisive national and tribal rivalries among drunken fans. Regardless, why instantiate such Pollyanna sentiment in the form of an unseemly unisex monstrosity? Maybe he also resides in the counterculture Capitol Hill district?<\/p>\n

If his imagination is constrained by such a trite emotion, then perhaps one figure with \u201chard edges\u201d and a separate figure with \u201csoft curves,\u201d embracing one another, would evoke a sentimental aura of \u201ccoming together.\u201d After all, at least for human beings, nature insists there are only two sexes.<\/p>\n

Seattle\u2019s statues suffered vandalism during the 2020 riots; by contrast, the removal of the \u201cVital Spirit\u201d incarnation should too, albeit more orderly. I exhort Mademoiselle Mayor: tear down the off-putting statute that will accost World Cup fans. I surely doubt that supporters (for the group-stage matches in Seattle) from Egypt, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Qatar, and Iran will find the Capitol Hill-like ethos welcoming.<\/p>
