Don't Tread?

In honor of the FIFA World Cup and the United States' mediocreness in the tournament so far, here is a video from Clint Dempsey, a forward for the team. As far as athletes-turned-rappers go, the song and skills aren't bad, but from a general humanity/musical perspective, it is goosebump inducing; there really should be a law permitting people in professional sports from venturing into the music game. At least it's good to know soccer is doing it's part to get troubled kids out of the hood. I'm thinking of setting up a stand in South Central where kids can trade in their guns for soccer balls. I'll call it "Stop Playing With Your Gun and Grab Some Balls" or SPWYGGSB for short.
