I am not a football fan, but because @Twelvefret likes to read and share, I read the opinion piece from the NY Times. I commiserate with all my friends who are suffering now. As a lifelong fan of the New York Knicks and also of the (former) New York (now New Jersey) Jets of American football I totally get it. The Jets haven’t won it all since the 1969 season, and the Knicks just ended their 53 year drought. And it’s been longer for England! At least my teams have a fresh chance with every new season, but the World Cup comes around only every few years. It must be torturous for you guys. I’m so sorry for you. Really.

I appreciate your sentiment. I’ve never been much of a spectator. I’m only in this for educational purposes. I did the same with baseball when my son was playing.

What captured my interest with this article was how Messi brought a unique and under appreciated set of skills and talent. In life there is a tendency for parents and teachers and coaches to try to conform at times and rob the experience of genuine talent .
