Subject: Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - CAMEROONIAN PLAYERS DISGRACED THEMSELVES
Sent from my grandfather's typewriter

Cameroonian players disgraced themselves during their World Cup match against Croatia. Obviously talented, they lacked discipline to complement their abilities. To the extent that some misunderstanding led one Cameroonian player to head-butt his teammate is disgraceful and unacceptable. Listening to American commentators’ perspectives on Alex Song’s hitting of the Croatian player and their subtle conclusion that it is the worst in soccer, exemplifies the ways that violence is Africanized by the powers that be! What about Zidanne’s head-butting of an opponent. And what about Luis Suarez’s carefully planted rabbit-teeth-sculpturing of an opponent's arm? Certainly, Song’s actions should not be defended, but in comparative perspectives, we can only say that Thank God Suarez is not an African! You get my drift: the contours of African cannibalism.
