Leicaster City's soccer championship in Premier League play amazing

Guy Baldwin
   Leicaster City's amazing win of the premier league this year capped off the most glorifying moment in English soccer and this clubs one hundred and thirty two year history. Claudio Ranieri jointly lifted the Premier League trophy as they completed the journey from relegation battlers and 5,000-1 outsiders to champions in the space of 12 months. The bookies took a major hit and all is well with the world best soccer league as an underdog and small city finally won the championship. unlike American professional sports small cities have a chance in foreign leagues although Leicaster City was often a joke and one of the worse run sports organization outside of Chicago.  Leicaster City winning a championship was good for international soccer and hopefully one day many more Americans will give a shit about this game but as long as the corporations decide sports popularity and where money should go it likely will stay at the back pages of interest in the states.
This is a global story, arguably the biggest overturning of the odds and defiance of logic in sport, with the demand for media tickets far greater than supply at this welcoming club that has dealt with the weight of expectation and rising attention in exemplary fashion.
Among the banners and signals of success one banner read "A Trophy Earned Not Bought". This has not exactly been a rags-to-riches tale but it has turned the Premier League's natural order upside down.Most sports addicts don't even know the geography of America yet alone the British isles, but at least through ESPN more and more coverage of soccer is being shared through highlights giving the millions of kids who play the game some role models.

Soccer is by far a safer sport to play for kids and school programs in this country need to get over the money and demand for pro football which is nothing but collision contact for the adult body often causing untold amount of nerve damage that goes unreported through the corporate airwaves when a player is long done and gone. Leicaster city is a sporting feel-good story that needs to be brought to Americn and Canadian cities in two countries whose sporting traditions and conditions favor the violent contact sports where athletic ability is often neglected back behind brute power and violent force which is really not skill or earned determination.
