David McIntyre | The Beautiful Game

May 19

In my last column of the semester, I want to look at the future of soccer in the U.S. and what needs to happen for the sport to become more mainstream. After all, if soccer doesn't get more popular, I'll still be the only guy waking up at 7:45 on a Saturday morning to watch a grainy Internet stream of the English Premier League. And that's no fun.

May 19

I happened to be home for a couple days over reading period, and my family had the old home videos playing. Between the infinite birthday parties and chorus performances (trust me, I can't sing now and I couldn't sing then), we stumbled upon the videos from when I was born. And sure enough, there I was, just two days old, sitting on a hospital bed intently watching the MLB playoffs.

May 19

I've never quite understood why athletes have been described as "role models" for the rest of us. I mean, yes, we can surely attempt to jump like Michael Jordan, throw like Pedro Martinez or catch like Jerry Rice, but I'm referring to a more holistic sense of the word. To really model ourselves after these people? Well, that requires learning about them in a way that the media do not necessarily help, understanding their idiosyncrasies that can be difficult for us to decipher and occasionally learning that these athletes are not who we thought they were.
