Of course soccer and real sports like hockey, lacrosse, football, basketball, rugby, etc. have a similar objective, one team tries to score a goal against the other team.
They also have a similar futility. Nothing ever really gets done in any of these "sports." Its just running around for its own sake. A real sport in my opinion puts us against Nature. Where we strive to fashion a relationship with Nature such that we are less her adversary and where we survive. That's why I think hunting, swimming, skiing, fishing, camping, tennis, hiking, running, biking are all amongst the superior sports (grin). |
