I have recently ventured into what my immediate family has considered the dark side of sports. Either myself or siblings have participated at one point or another in just about all of the sports (basketball, baseball, softball, gymnastics, kickball, swimming, volleyball, tennis, track and field, cross country) that are available in a mid-sized town in central Indiana and while football didn't make the list, we watched plenty of it.
You have covered them all! you say. Well, my friend, if this is your statement, like us, you may have just offended a large and growing fan base of ... soccer.
That is right. Under consistent invitation and a potentially painful curiosity for the game of continuous running around and kicking a ball into a net (which in a well matched game may happen a total of a couple of times), I now have license to add soccer to my list of organized sports that I have played. After my first game ever, my team has informed me that I am not too bad. Go figure.
