Football: A Sport of Physical Vigor and Moral Discipline (Patreon)

Cappa: I believe that football, as a sport, is also an exceptional means of comprehensive education. It contributes to the physical health of those who practice it, and also to the moral, as there is a very particular code that must be respected and enforced.

Menotti: Exactly. A code that is the rulebook. A rulebook that supports the game, protects talent, and punishes violence and any type of cheating very severely.

Cappa: Let's talk about the rules specifically, if you agree, later on.

Menotti: That sounds very good, because the rules are the foundation on which we build all our concepts. I just wanted to add that it is the rules that ultimately support us when we assert that football is a game of joy, creation, art, thought, skill, and intelligence.
