Steven Wells: A NAFF's NAFF
North America needs about ten thousand more like him, punk rock, inner city, ex-pat, lover of the Real American Game: sah-ker. Too often coverage of the sport in North America is either clouded by insiderish earnestness, or worse, ESPN talking head bile. Some want the game to shirk its roots in the barren New World to suit the childish anglophilic crushes of Williamsburgs and Mission District Arsenal-scarved hipsters; others are satisfied to make moronic, homphobic jokes about the European disease invading America.
