In today’s Any Given Sunday, I am going to take a look at two things I don’t understand, colorful cleats and obese people driving motorized carts.
You are probably
thinking, what these two things have to do with football, well, you are
probably wondering that at least about one of them. Stick around and you will
find out.
Colorful Cleats
During the
World Cup, all the big shoe manufactures, like Nike, Adidas and Puma release
new cleats and use the World Cup players to promote them to the masses. It is a
great marketing strategy, after all the amount of people around the world
tuning in to watch the matches, is far greater than what they could reach with
any add. Some of the cleats are so flashy that it looks like you have a disco
at your feet and I am ok with that.
I don’t have
an issue if Neymar Jr has bright orange, lime, purple and silver cleats. Guys
like him, Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo can do it. They have the skills to back up
the cleats. See, to me, the cleats color should be a reflection of the skill
set of the person wearing them. Let me explain that, if you are a horrible
player and can barely string two passes together and can’t play the game unless
you have an Xbox controller in hand, than you should wear black shoes. If you
know how to play but are not very good, you can have white, if you are a mini
Neymar you can wear any color you want.
I call it,
color coding. The cleats color should be a complete reflection of your own
skill set. What bothers me is people going to stores and buying cleats designed
for Cristiano Ronaldo, when they play like Stephen Hawking.
Give your
head a shake and like The Rock would say, know your role and stop wearing those
damn cleats. You suck!!!!
Obese Motorized People
It is
Saturday morning and I am at the local grocery store trying to stock up on
World Cup food so I can have a weekend of a king. I like to make sure I have
everything I need so my World Cup viewing experience is as good as it can be.
All was going well until I almost get run over by a motorized obese person
doing more than the speed limit on isle 3.
I am going
to throw a wild guess out there and say that the reason we don’t have obese
football players is because they RUN. I am not asking you to run, I am asking
you to walk, and perhaps you can walk slowly if that is more of your liking.
All I want is to safely walk in my local grocery store, pick up supplies for
what will be an epic weekend of World Cup football without getting run over by
Free Willy on wheels.
Some of you
are probably reading this and thinking, you are so rude, that person may have a
medical condition. It isn’t a medical condition, it is a religious condition,
and the bible called it gluttony.
Do some
exercise, even if it means it’s looking for cookies from isle to isle. At the
very least you are moving around and that is an improvement, because the less
you do, the less your body will want to do.
