I gave being a soccer fan a try in the '70s after the Cosmos brought in Pelé, Giorgio Chinaglia and Franz Beckenbauer. Even though he was already a pretty old guy by then, Pelé was amazing to watch.

He also was an incredible ambassador for the game. I went to an outing at which he was the featured guest, and he signed autographs for everybody there -- stayed hours to do it. I still have that little sheet of paper with his signature.

Truly one of a kind. He will be missed.

"I am one of those who think the best friend of a nation is he who most faithfully rebukes her for her sins—and he her worst enemy, who, under the specious and popular garb of patriotism, seeks to excuse, palliate, and defend them" - Frederick Douglass

Yes, I made a mistake and realized it immediately. I just put it there.

Pele was selfish and took all the shots. Regular chucker.
Assume what I say should be in teal if it doesn't pass the smell test for you.

"We all carry within us our places of exile, our crimes and our ravages. But our task is not to unleash them on the world; it is to fight them in ourselves and in others." -Camus, The Rebel

But he only made the easy shots.
