Cruelty and Compassion

[Peter R]

When Brazil win in football or West Indies cricket, there is much rejoicing and a feeling that god’s in his heaven and all’s right with the world.

These teams play their sports with flair and communicate their enjoyment to the audiences. There will never be another Pele, just as there will never be another Garry Sobers, geniuses both. But each player in these teams has it in him to become a short-term genius. Like Carlos Brathwaite on Sunday night.
