Passion and sport

With the world game and associated world cup now in full swing in south Africa there has been a lot of talk about passion and support for sports.

I like to think if sport as a better alternative to religion. Not only can we be passionate about it be we can see the results while we are still alive and have reason to be passionate whilst watching. It is real is what I am trying to say I think.

I have played soccer for 8 years and refereed it for 9 after I stopped playing however I find myself detached when watching mist games I would prefer to watch the referee than the play as I think the sport for me doesn't hold that magic anymore.

Last night however was the State of Origin rugby league battle the second match Of three played each year. To determine which east coast state is supreme. For my American followers I highly recommend watching the match on YouTube or a sports website it will definitely change your view on football and to me having grown up with this tradition of origin and state pride these three games played anually hold the most passion in a sporting event for me. It truly is edge of your seat stuff. My religion. Not at all religion is fallacy origin is as real as it comes.

Once again fantastic work QLD let's make it six next year!!
