Soccer closet
By VictorM:Is this another sign that soccer fans are more willing to come out of the closet these days than ever before?
Things are changing, slowly but surely. Not that there aren't enough soccer haters/bashers still around -- there are plenty -- but that fewer people who like soccer keep it to themselves.[Darrol] Ray, a former defensive back for the University of Oklahoma and the Jets, said in a telephone interview from his restaurant, Smokehouse BBQ & Grill, in Oklahoma City. “We’re red, white and blue all the way, but I won’t equivocate; it’s more enjoyable to watch 90 minutes of soccer action.”
To some, that is borderline blasphemy coming from a man who also played high school football in Texas.
“I made sure in high school that no one knew I liked soccer,” he said. “I didn’t want to be mocked or put down. I grew up in central Texas, and that’s one of the things you have to keep to yourself.”
