Yes, I have no work to do this afternoon...

It's interesting how soccer got this commie stereotype. Probably the most self expressive team sport out there while baseball and football make you stay in set positions for huge chunks of the game.

I agree. As a conservative, I find soccer to be the game most in line with my principles. Few rules basically set forth for safety reasons. You can advance by either individual or collaborative efforts. Little role for the coach one things get going.

On the other hand, football to me seems to be the perfect metaphor for communism. The coach (dictator) after consulting with his staff (Politburo) sends in the play (five year plan) to the quarterback (factory manager) who talks about it with the other players in the huddle (workers soviet) who in reality have little choice but to implement the plan. They then work for 10 seconds and talk about it for 30. Strict rules regimented game.
