The NFL season starts in just over a week, and it looks like the Dolphins may have a chance this year …
Football is the most intellectual of all the major sports in the USofA. Go ahead, laugh, but it’s true. All those breaks between plays are more than time for wagging commentary and the occasional Bud commercial, they are a chance for the coach to send in a play that one side will attempt to execute while the other tries to foil it. Raw athletic ability is often thwarted by a clever plan or a quick wit that sees past it. Amid the changing fronts of trench warfare that form the game, a good General is what it takes to win.
But there’s a lot more to football than that. What we’ve learned from the NFL in particular is how important it is to set up a system where everyone has a chance and the rules are evenly enforced. It’s America at its best.
