Its more than just a game



I recently watched an episode from eric cantona^^
entitled eric cantona football rebels

and it had me on the edge of my seat
he has been painted as the football philosophizer
for his response after a certain incident

so the name entrigued me and we all make assumptions and mine were blown out of the water
when i saw the title i envisioned
a balotelliesque kind of player
one mostly of the football kind and of a small orbital sphere around it
such as disobeying managers
not acting in the traditional way
or an innovator of some kind

and when i heard him announce who he would discuss i was like who
i have never heard of this person
like ever
little did i know that by the time i finished the program i would feel ashamed that and puzzle why i had never heard of him even passingly

after watching i felt so inspired and joyous all in one
pondering how one can be involved in so much yet be in anonymity

and this episode was the epitome
of how nothing is too small
of how just a game does not always apply

and how far would you go for a cause
a just cause
would you or i step up and be counted

i will not spoil the wonder for you but aide you in enjoying it likewise so here is the link

it is a collage of elements of a diaspora
allegiance
conscience
status
comradeship and
cause
to name a few
