In today's Best of the Web James Taranto publishes an item on Soccer as the communist football. It all makes sense:
  • No one understands the rules.
  • Workers are prohibited from using the tools that would let them be more productive (hands).
  • From time to time petty bureaucrats (officials) interfere with play in such a way as to limit production.
  • Players, coaches, officials and fans are all fully involved (employed) and yet output is miniscule.
  • Any production is met by celebration all out of proportion to its objective value.
  • Followers are slavishly (religiously?) devoted to the system and their own brand of it and resort to violence at any criticism of either.
