LIFE EXPLAINED, PART 74

Because most people believe something is true doesn't mean much. At one time most people thought the world was flat. So the fact that soccer is the most popular spectator sport in the world doesn't make it any less boring. Presumably it's a lot more fun to play than to watch and not much skill is required either, pretty much 22 people just running back and forth willy-nilly and kicking a large ball until by the law of averages it winds up in the gigantic goal area once or twice a game, prompting the announcer to shriek Gooaaall! like a banshee with his hand stuck in a car door for about 20 minutes or so until paramedics come and sedate him. Outside of that amusing spectacle, watching a soccer game is a real snooze.
