Saturday afternoon I brought a pizza over to my friend Mark's place (Mark works at the University of Denver's Anderson Academic Commons, called the library back in the real world) and watched Iceland play France live in the semi-finals of the Euro 2016 soccer tournament. Iceland was the underdog favorite, since it has only about 1000 people living there due to the extreme temperatures and the fact that it is in total darkness half the year. In any case, sadly enough, Iceland lost 5 to 2, and was eliminated from the tournament. In honor of the occasion, Mark wore his Cemento Cruzazul soccer shirt, which features advertising for various products all over the front, back, and sleeves. I only hope major league baseball executives don't see these jerseys. Otherwise, they will sell so many ads they will probably eliminate even the player's name from the jersey. And if you think I'm kidding, you don't know major league baseball these days.
