They’ve been doing this for years

Sat in the arena watching the gladiators

Facing off against one another

Spectators nails chewed to the quick

as the clock ticks down to the 90th minute

cheering every tackle

calling every decision

applauding every header

and jumping for joy if their team wins

    I felt a bit like this at my son’s basketball game yesterday.

      Glad you liked it. Listened to the football on BBC Radio 5 for a bit more inspiration.
