Politics: When the game never ends, and the score is anyone’s guess
Politicians in sports are a beautiful disaster, like watching a three-legged race where everyone insists on being in charge. You’ve got them showing up to a soccer match in loafers, arguing with the ref about “voter intent” when they miss a goal. One guy filibusters the game by holding the ball and giving a speech on infrastructure, while another forms a committee to investigate why he wasn’t passed to. Meanwhile, the coach is just trying to explain offside without triggering a parliamentary debate. It's less about winning the game and more about spinning the loss into a campaign ad: “I didn’t score, but I fought hard for every inch of that turf—just like I’ll fight for you.”
