Soccer and Me, or, Why Sports Suddenly Invaded This Blog
The idea for this blog (if there could be said to be any central idea behind it, which is arguable) was conceived months and more before its beginning, and from that time until this past June, Secondhand Sun was intended to be discussion of politics and current events from a feminist perspective, with the occasional personal-life flavor thrown in. Then in June and July came the World Cup, and soccer invaded my life and my blog. The story of how this happened goes all the way back to my experience as a girl growing into a young woman and playing youth soccer, and so, dear readers, with your indulgence, I'm going to go all personal-is-political on you and tell you about soccer and me.
