FOOTBALL AS THE NEW OPIUM

Karl Marx talked about religion being the opium of the masses.I wonder what he will now say when he hears that Football is fast becoming a poisoned chalice.As at the last count,five people-four from Ghana and one from Nigeria died after the Quater final encounter between that country and Nigeria.Yesterday,Cameroon knocked out Ghana in one of the Semi-final matches.I know that so many Crazy Ghanian football fans will find this hard to believe.For the weak hearted:Please, remember that it is only a game.
