Elephants Star At Soccer

Some people love to watch soccer, while others were born in the United States. All kidding aside, despite hardly speaking for all Americans with my own feelings about the sport’s dullness, I could understand why someone growing up watching it would hold it so dear. There are intricacies and subtleties to the game that don’t present themselves immediately; it’s about getting caught up in the build up to the big moment. Sure, one could feasibly go get a haircut and likely not miss said moment, but that’s a whole other discussion. I will concede, however, that there might be a way to get someone like me into soccer.

Men ride atop elephants as they take shots at a soccer goal. Elephants can play soccer— who knew?

This looks like a total blast! How do I make this happen tomorrow? Where do I sign up? Simply riding any old run of the mill elephant sounds like the thrill of a lifetime, but a soccer-playing one? That’s incredible!
