There are over a billion people in the world who are fixated on whether a ball goes into a net. The last soccer World Cup was watched by 1.1 billion people. Not to mentions the tens of millions who watch basketball, baseball, football etc. etc. It is a worldwide phenomenon. People obsessed with a ball. It is - from a Jewish perspective - insanity. OCBD - Obsessive Compulsive Ball Disorder.

הבל הבל הבל הבל הבל הבל הבלים.
