Black Soccer
Sunday, May 17th, 2009
Why does a large percentage of Americans enjoy watching and playing football but refuse to acknowledge its twin sport? Why is it that many homes have basketball hoops on their yard or garage but no soccer posts? Why is it this happening?
Soccer is an honorable and physically challenging sport. It can challenge even the healthiest man, what with running for forty-five minutes without a rest. There are no time outs in soccer. Inside the soccer field, there is no one but you, the goalkeeper and the goal post. So why is soccer not included in the American’s list of priority sports?
The Best Sport in the World
In basketball, it would be very easy to earn a point. Just raise your armpits and then try your luck with the hoop. That is the reason why a game could end after four quarters with more than a hundred points for each team. With a gifted shooter and a good offense and defense strategy, your team could win effortlessly.
However, in soccer, every point is crucial. A game could even end with no score for both teams. The goals are all well deserved and planned so no one can say that it was just a lucky shot. The teams play together and practice perfect teamwork because each goal needs cooperation, and a team with no cooperation does not and can not win.
How can you exchange basketball for soccer? Basketball makes it easy to win – soccer makes you work hard for it. It is like picking between a cat and a dog. A cat will make you work for its attention and love; a dog will love you regardless of who you are. Basketball is the dog – and soccer is the cat.
A Place for My Thoughts
I tried posting my sentiments on an online forum once. Would you believe that I was kicked off simply because the moderator favors basketball and he says my ideas clash with his. It is frustrating. Why create a forum when you are only going to show your own thoughts and welcome posts mirroring your ideas? What about freedom of speech? What about my ideas?
That is when I came across cappersinsight.com/forums. Wow, that forum changed my life. The other members were attentive and they actually listened to what I had to say. Yes, not everyone agrees with me but, at least, I am allowed to speak out and say what I want. There is no discrimination at all!
At this forum, everyone is allowed to speak whether the member is a he or a she; white or black; Hispanic, Caucasian or Asian. My thoughts were respected, and I was given my own space and my own ‘pulpit’. It’s a place where I can say anything I want without being killed and say what I want without being scoffed at.
This forum exemplifies what an online forum is and should be. You can say what you want, when you want it. Yes, there are always limitations, but the originality and individuality of a member should not be put to a test just because the moderator favors a certain sport. Cappersinsight.com/forums
made me a more active participant in forums, and now I am learning many things. My favorite lesson? Finding someone to listen to you is not as hard as you think it is.
