This movie is based off of William Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night, and in the movie it has a girl dress up as her twin brother to make it on a soccer team to prove she is just as good as the boys. The scene that causes the main character, Viola Davis, to dress up as her twin brother, is when her girls’ soccer team was cut from the school’s program because not…

The latter half of the nineteenth century was a pivotal time for the growth of football. A lot of what occurred set the grounds for the success of…

I remember a time while growing up; I…

other side of the spectrum, we have the Jewish soccer teams and their affiliates. The Jewish soccer teams did not for the most part receive acts of violence against them.

On the bright side, being called names for what you are seems a lot nicer than getting beat to death for who you were born as. The Red Star took pride as a soccer team, where in history there has not been a large…
