During the recession, Earthlings, think twice about what sport you want your children to play as well as yourself.
Golf is an expensive game. The equipment is costly and you have to drive to the gold course, pay the fee and then drive around in a little vehicle which doesn't cause you to sweat, which doesn't really make you lose weight or keep you fit. Forget about snow-skiing or scuba diving!
Baseball is cheaper but you still have to have a glove, and if playing on the baseball team, you have to shell out money on your uniform.
Football is cheap only if you play it in your neighborhood, but if your kids play in school, then all kinds of costs come into the picture. As a parent, you are also forced to donate money to the football team via all kinds of Didiot-ass, money raising activities where they force you to purchase things you do not want.
One sport we found on Earth is very exciting and very cheap. We tried it and fully understand why more Earthlings play it than any other sport on your planet. Most Earthlings call it futebol. Americans call it soccer. Playing soccer requires only one thing: the ball. People actually play barefooted if they do not have the money to buy shoes.
Attending a professional soccer game is cheaper than going to a pro football game. It costs $500 to $1000 for a family of four to see an NFL Football game. Instead, take your family to see an incredibly popular Earthling specimen named David Beckham.
We do not understand the big hoopla about David Beckham, but female Earthlings go ga-ga over him. No matter why, it is still cheaper to see David Beckham and the game itself is very exciting to watch. We are thinking about franchising soccer on our planet, and taking David Beckham there to educate our species how to 'Bend it like Beckham.'
The reason 500 million people play it, and 2.5 billion watch it is that it is affordable. Soccer is the best recession-proof sport.
