Without any doubt, soccer is the most popular sport among humans. As far as I am concerned, that is a clear sign that there is something wrong with the entire species. In fact, it is the proof of the matter. Humans are but slaves of fortune. Tonight I was, well, forced to watch another game of soccer from start to finish, and the game ended again without any goals. None whatsoever. Ninety minutes between two of the best human teams without a score. Zilch. Fuck all. Some sport! Nay, some species.

Addendum (October 9, 2016)

To the best of my knowledge, the only major country where soccer is not the most popular sport is the States. There, football, baseball, and basketball come on top. Everywhere else, soccer rules. Americans like sports in which the better team wins. And without fail. In soccer, the better team has a better chance at winning, but that is about all. Often enough, the better team loses. And that is precisely why soccer is so popular with most humans. It is a question of fortune. And they are thus willing to watch endless soccer games in which nothing ever happens. One or two goals per game are the norm, but there are plenty of games without any goals. And no kidding. Again, the key words that describe the species are good to remember at all times: fortune, luck, chance, windfall, accident, godsend, destiny, blessing, fate, providence… Not for nothing are soccer players often seen praying just before an important game. Religion and soccer are forever in tight embrace. Some species, indeed.
