We've actually had a few really awesome soccer games under the bombs recently. Drones, F-16s, airstrikes, and stupid Iron Dome constantly going "boom" can amp the adrenaline so much that even us non-athletic types will happily accept an opportunity to run it out.
These matches, like many other activities here, included members of parties that were actually shooting at each other a few years ago. Nobody tell Carrol that part, though; I gather his limited political imagination might find the whole thing a little too "hurly-burly." :-D
("[H]urly-burly"! My God ...)
