They’re Really Great Guys…
If you can get past all the penis jokes (of which some twenty are posted just below the one I’m about to reference) the guys over at EDSBS are actually warm and caring, and would totally be there for you if you ever needed them, dude. Proof positive is this post, linking to an New York Times article about “the other football.”
Growing up playing soccer in America can sometimes make you feel like part of a secret society, or an outcast gang. Nobody else seems to get it, much less love it. Watching the World Cup still amazes me every time, because I think to myself, “Holy shit. EVERYONE loves this game. And this game can do anything.” This article is evidence that sports, and especially soccer, can provide truly transcendant moments to those that play them and support them. Enjoy.
