America not caring about poor people?

Though I loathe football, I was happy to see the New Orleans Saints lose their bid to GO TO THE SUPER BOWL in Chicago against the bears. I find the idiotic coverage of the Saints success as "lifting the spirits of New Orleaneans" counterproductive to repairing a broken city. Anyone who believes the success of a football team could be a panacea for the ills of New Orleans and its residence grossly misunderstands the situation.

But I wonder, does the Bears' success mean America will now show its concern for the 200,000 Chicago children living below the poverty line?
