Just for Kicks

Although historians
have identified some significant dates for the beginning of our nation’s slide
away from constitutional governance, my sense is that the major drift has taken
place in the past 50 years. While one can make a case that the Alien and Sedition Act initiated the
tendency of politicians to ignore their constitutional oaths, others would
identify Woodrow Wilson (with able assistance from Teddy Roosevelt) and his
progressive agenda as the beginning of our dismal path. Both of those actions
or movements were instrumental in our fall, but the pace of our demise has
accelerated dramatically during the past half-century…..and I know why.

Soccer is
the dominant sport of socialist Europe and socialist/communist South America.
It has become a major participatory sport here in the United States. Drive
through any community during a summer or fall Saturday, and you will observe
legions of fields full of young girls and boys chasing a spotted ball from end
to end. Hordes of parents including the legendary soccer moms line the playing
fields cheering on their offspring and chiding the officials. The parking lots are
laden with scores of SUV’s from every imaginable auto manufacturer, and the
tiny siblings of the players kick miniature versions of the game ball as they,
too, roam the sidelines and snack areas.

Note as you
watch that there are very few “chubby” kids, particularly boys, playing the
favorite game of the New World Order. The male children are being transformed
into a collection of seemingly anorexic metrosexuals because of their affinity
for a sport that celebrates “flopping’ as opposed to the more manly pursuits of
blocking and tackling while playing football. We can project that later in life
the young men who were subjected to soccer will become the emaciated runners
that so many of us see trudging along the streets and bike paths of our
communities.

Soccer
undermines one of the most important physical developments necessary for young
people to be active participants throughout their lifetimes. The skill that
becomes lost through soccer-induced atrophy is eye-hand coordination. When you
think about it, you realize that a sport that relies almost entirely on the
feet is as far away from the brain as one can anatomically get which explains a
lot about why our citizens have become susceptible to the statists’ message.

There is a
distinct and alarming correlation between the rise in soccer’s popularity and
the decline in our freedom. Our liberty is being trampled on the field of “futball.”
Our strength and our commitment to freedom have been replaced by short pants
and yellow cards. Our economic might and willingness to risk have been overcome
by “2 to 1” final scores. The unpredictable bounces of life and footballs have
been superseded by the boring predictability of a round ball…..a stark reminder
of the globe. We are doomed. J
