How Important is Soccer?
Bill Shankly, manager of Liverpool Football Club once famously said, "Football's not a matter of life and death, it's more important than that." Can that true and what does it even mean?

my knowledge of soccer is of dribbling and David Beckham
but I google the score at halftime so I can share in the reasons why you care
Listen to you rant about the penalty in the third quarter
and all the words translate in my head to tell me that you’re talking about sports, about something I don‘t understand
But you listen to my questions
about teams and plays and rules
over and over again
every time we watch a game
and that’s worth more than winning to me
