Sports, is the reenactment of war. The major difference is
that afterwards the participants can go home without the smell of death all
over them. Although the jury is still out on a few players and coaching staff
connected with the New Orleans Saints.
Here in America we love sports on all levels from professional
to College to High School. Football, baseball, basketball and NASCAR still reign supreme.
There are other major sporting events going on as well and are entertaining to
watch. The main reason they are so popular is the players give everything they
have to play at their best, to win with honor and dignity.
And then there’s Soccer. A sport made up of marathon runners
with hard heads and the ability to date and marry gorgeous women for as long as
their careers hold out. That last part does tend to describe all other persons
of interest in other fields of sports.
But what soccer lacks when compared to other forms of
sporting events is the honesty of fair play. Many Soccer players fake injuries
as if they have nothing better else to do. Soccer players would rather resort
to lying in the effort to remove an opponent from the field.
That alone is what is really keeping Americans from embracing
the world of soccer. If a European soccer player really wants to cry over a
fake injury, you can be sure than an American player will make an honest man
out of him the next time they meet on the field of battle.
