“I’m saying this because the World Cup is free of the ills that have seeped into modern sports today.”
I chose this quote for mostly one specific reason; this shows that the World Cup not only brings nations together, but the World Cup also is the sport most people like to watch the best. This quote shows that this sport has fewer problems than the other sports have today. When Farzad wrote this he was talking about the enormous salaries that the players in other sports get paid and how the soccer players do not choose what country they want to represent. Also, how there is no huge money contract with soccer players and no big shoe deals overshadowing the actual game. This relates to my topic, because the World Cup does not have these problems like that other sports do. Not having those problems brings nations together even more, because they aren't there for enormous salaries or contracts; they are there for the game.
