Forget Ferguson, ISIS and Putin...Soccer is what we should be thinking about!
The death of Michael Brown in Ferguson...the march of ISIS in Iraq and Syria...the push of Putin in Ukraine... These are days when I can’t help wondering where the smiles have gone. And we’ve been thinking a lot about...soccer.
Maybe it’s time for everyone all over the world to lay down their arms and their agendas and concentrate on the only thing that seems to bring everyone, all over the world, together–soccer.
Yes, you read that right. So much of the world loves the sport of soccer and the U.S. has been slow to join the rest of the globe’s fascination with the flying white ball. But, it’s a fact of life that when people are playing soccer, they’re generally not killing each other. A good thing.
Maybe we should think more about the rumble of the crowd and the flight of the ball into that far-off goal post the next time we’re inclined to concentrate on the death and devastation that seems to be the only thing on our plates these days...
