There are two ways to be fooled. One is to believe what isn’t true; the other is to refuse to believe what is true. —Soren Kierkegaard. "…truth is true even if nobody believes it, and falsehood is false even if everybody believes it. That is why truth does not yield to opinion, fashion, numbers, office, or sincerity–it is simply true and that is the end of it" – Os Guinness, Time for Truth, pg.39. “He that takes truth for his guide, and duty for his end, may safely trust to God’s providence to lead him aright.” – Blaise Pascal. "There is but one straight course, and that is to seek truth and pursue it steadily" – George Washington letter to Edmund Randolph — 1795. We live in a “post-truth” world. According to the dictionary, “post-truth” means, “relating to or denoting circumstances in which objective facts are less influential in shaping public opinion than appeals to emotion and personal belief.” Simply put, we now live in a culture that seems to value experience and emotion more than truth. Truth will never go away no matter how hard one might wish. Going beyond the MSM idealogical opinion/bias and their low information tabloid reality show news with a distractional superficial focus on entertainment, sensationalism, emotionalism and activist reporting – this blogs goal is to, in some small way, put a plug in the broken dam of truth and save as many as possible from the consequences—temporal and eternal. "The further a society drifts from truth, the more it will hate those who speak it." – George Orwell “There are two ways to be fooled. One is to believe what isn’t true; the other is to refuse to believe what is true.” ― Soren Kierkegaard
Everyone agrees soccer is boring and America needs to fix it, but how? Here are ten simple ways to make soccer interesting, since the rest of the planet apparently remains intent on making us watch it every four years.
Goalies must be double amputees – no more scoreless draws! Any two limbs will do.
Supply one “enforcer” on each team with a taser – finally, the guy thrashing on the ground won’t be faking!
Add quicksand so that anyone who takes too long on a free kick gets sucked in – move or die.
Have a drunk hobo decide when each half starts and ends – bound to be more sensible than whatever the current system is.
In the event of a tie, the coaches must have a duel at midfield – if it ends in a tie, it’s not a sport.
If players pass the ball 10 times without shooting, the ball detonates – would put a stop to this asinine backward passing once and for all.
Release an enraged bull onto the field if things get boring – “Mbappe steps up to take the free kick and OH MY GRACIOUS HE JUST GOT GORED IN THE LIVER!”
Anyone who flops will be thrown into the Sarlacc Pit where they will discover a new definition of pain and suffering – there is no flopping in the Sarlacc Pit.
Give half the players jetpacks and half the players surface-to-air missiles – built in Lockheed-Martin sponsorship.
Instead of kicking a round ball towards a goal, players will carry or throw a more oblong ball towards a kind of “end zone” – definitely onto something here.
With just a few of these changes, soccer might have a real chance to finally catch on! Let us know any changes to the so-called “sport” that you would make!
