Warning: soccer rant.

To expand, it’s either time to go all-in on association football by the name of ‘football’ or grant that everyone over the past 50 years who kept telling us that soccer was always going to be the sport of the future and literally never the present, were right.

Either we get people to accept football for itself, or we start admitting that it’s like baseball for a subcontinent-variety Indian and always will be.

I know which one I hope for; I also have a feeling I know which one the US will choose should it even remain united (and I have my suspicions that there were issues of Trumpist-vs-sane-person in that locker room that might also have contributed, but then we all know my views on trying to rebuild bridges with the Confeds these days). And I don’t think they’re the same choice.
