I've never followed soccer, but I am told that the World Cup has come to America and lots of tourists are over here getting their minds blown. In a good way. Little things that we take for granted. Like restaurant portion size, like American barbeque, like yellow school busses. They seem to be baffled by gallons of sweet tea.
Many of these games are held in smaller towns, and mid-America friendliness and hospitality seems to have made a favorable impression.
Perhaps this is a good thing.
It is most definitely a good thing.
ReplyDeleteThis is real world experience getting past our self anointed gatekeepers.
It breaks their narrative and their attempts at control.
