A practice gym teacher from the local university came to my elementary school and tried to get us interested in soccer ("the sport of the future"). One hispanic kid knew the rules, everyone else was wondering what the heck it was all about. To make a long story short, the game turned into a free-for-all, with the girls (and some boys) ending up watching from the side and the others getting extremely agressive and some even getting injured. Except for a few of the overly athletic types, everyone agreed that the game sucked, and the next day it was back to kickball as usual.
