I like soccer. I used to play and later I coached a development league team. Having given up on the NFL for their pandering to their anti American players you would think I’d be soccer’s prime target to pull in as a fan. However, after the ladies team display I can tell you that isn’t going to happen. In fact it just reinforces a decision I made - I’m done with “professional” sports. I don’t watch or follow any of them. The players seem to have gotten a little full of themselves. They are there to play, to entertain, to demonstrate someone at the pinnacle of performance. If I want political or social commentary I’ll go to sources I trust and respect. Professional athletes are not in that group, nor are actors, singers, etc. They seem to confuse their celebrity with actual knowledge. Just look pretty, chase the ball etc. Realize that I can get exactly the same level of entertainment from a puppy as from you, and probably about the same political social insights.

At the very least, the puppy is loyal.
