Class on May 28th

On May 28th, Jorge presented his senior project, which was on soccer. His project was focused on  why soccer teams were successful. He explored the two main reasons argued, which were economic status and love/passion for the sport. What was interesting to me was how it could even be argued that its because of the wealth of the team, but as his documentary went on I understood why that was such an important factor. Many of the coaches use their wealth to buy the most valuable players from around the world in order to make the best team possible. Another thing that was interesting was that some of the teams that won the world cup weren't the wealthiest, so it made me wonder whether the economic wealth even had any part to do with it. I liked his presentation because it actually made me think of the two perspectives.
