Soccer: A Religion in the making.
Watch world cup soccer Watch Olympic games Watch soccer, watch them play! Watch them watch! Rituals they perform Faithful they are to the rubrics Punishment and reward to all Nothing escapes their way With procession they start A lighted candle is the symbol They sing, they dance, and slogans they chant, shouts, shouts all over Magic is the game To craziness it drives them To ecstasy they are moved Mystics they become To lose is a curse Lest witchcraft come into play Hooliganism is even better Ask England they will tell you To fight they will fight To kill they will kill(Columbia) Fundamentalistic they are What a devotion they have? And own saints they adore Pele, Maradona, Roger Miller… Their gods they are. Tell me, isn’t Soccer a religion?This may be true with other sports. My concern is that many people are denying the relevance of religion, but religion is in everything we do. Written December 24th, 2001 © on Dec 24 2001 05:14 AM PST 0 • 13
