I've watched soccer games with some enthusiams, but it will never live up to American football in my eyes. I love the physicicality of football, the strategery, the styles so very evident when one squad meets another.
I think that I could like soccer more than baseball, more than basketball.
Maybe equal to hockey.
As for Camus and learning all about morality from soccer, well, I wish that someone would have spoken to those morons at the pub I was at in London that sent a cascade of pint glasses smashing into walls, tables, and patrons. Or that Chelsea fan who.... oh, nevermind.
