…then You Don’t Know Sports
If you’re like me…then at times you can be more Urban than Mogul. In order to be a true Urban Mogul…you’ve got to be able to expand your horizons. Up until the last World Cup Tourny in 2006…I was one of the many self-proclaimed sports fans that had NO I-D-E-A! After watching a couple of matches, interviews, and broadcasts from other countries…I finally realized…this …this is sport.
Don’t misunderstand, I love the NBA, Track and Field, and would consider the world a lesser place without the NFL 😦 …but the World Cup, is truly something different. It’s not the best in the U.S. claiming self-righteous world titles..this is the WORLD. It’s an opportunity for nations that are rarely in the headlines, are not economic juggernauts, are not military super powers to come to the stage and do civilized battle on a chosen playing field with age-old rules. It’s the time every four years when the best and brightest any nation has to offer steps up to do battle for God…and Country. The battle is truly a physical test…but the heart…the heart makes it epic. Every athlete is compelled to play their best, the pressure would crush lesser men…and women. The hopes and dreams of every individual, from every country…rests on the shoulders of a group of athletes known as “footballers”. If you enjoy those moments in sport when athletes are truly tested, if you revel in the human experience that is victory and defeat, if you’re inspired by the sight of individuals giving all they have so that their fans and countrymen can beat their chests with pride and honor, if you love the drama and suspense that comes when millions…sometimes billions of hopes are on the line at once, if you want to feel the entire earth pulse…the FIFA 2010 World Cup is for you.
