Football to Improve Life

I bitch and moan about social injustices and stuff, and this is another of those times. If you're sick of my ranting already, then please skip this. There's an event that most people know of called the FIFA World Cup. It's a football (not the American kind) tourney, involving most of the world. There's another event that you might not have heard of called the Homeless World Cup. Where FIFA footballers get paid boatloads and live in fancy houses and marry Spice Girls, the homeless don't. These are disadvantaged people getting a chance for the world to recognize that, while disadvantaged, they're still people and need to be treated as people. I'm putting the website down below this, so you can go and check it out and maybe help out with the cause. I know I'm going to give as much help as I can this summer, hopefully being able to make some money to support the cause. Homelessness is seen as almost a crime against the rest of a community, and that needs to stop. And before people say that I should spend money on charities instead of this, that's full of shit. Sure, it may not help homeless people directly, but if we can improve the world's opinion of the homeless it'll end up helping more than anything else.

Go forth, and do good for humanity!
