The World According To ChrisGraham.com: Buzz, buzz, buzz, zzzz

OK, I’ll agree. South African soccer fans have every right to play those annoying trumpets at the World Cup. I also have every right to call them annoying, and to use that as the basis for moving on from this year’s World Cup to more interesting things.

(For example, watching paint dry.)

It’s bad enough that the sport’s rules include nonsense about being “offsides” that is akin to banning passes to open players in a football game because they happen to slip behind the defense or outlet passes to fast-breaking basketball players because they had the foresight to beat the defense back toward their goal.
