more than a game
June 18th, 2007 Adam
For the Gold Cup, it’s defections. For Copa America, It looks like it’s going to be protests. While Franklin Foer must be riveted, it begs a question.
Is it right to co-opt sport in the name of politics? What about human rights?
Right or Wrong, soccer is faced with such circumstances more than any other sport, in no small part due to its international renditions. With the growing pains of progress and its rebuke proliferating like kudzu in the American south, let’s just hope these renditions don’t become extraordinary.
From fans to fanatics, we all need to be reminded it’s just a game.
