World Cup

July 6, 2006

I'm not a soccer fanatic, nor a soccer hater.

But I like sports and I really enjoy the World Cup. It even translates to TV better than I ever thought it would.

One problem. It only happens every four years. Can we double that frequence?

Wouldn't every two years be even better. Maybe not the stop all pretense of being employed, shut down the country for the World Cup rarity it is now, but it'd still be special enough.

The Olympics I don't need more than once every four years. And those happen every two years if you count Summer and Winter.

In America we have too much of our sports. A month too long of baseball, basketball and hockey. A month of football that we're ready for, but it doesn't count for anything. A month too long between meaningful college football games.

But the World Cup. I'd go for more of that.
