Another Breathtakingly Stupid Thing

Allow me to step away from my absolutely horrified frustration with what the Obama administration has let happen to Iraq over the last 2-1/2 years. What is with the 2014 World Cup logo?

I know that I'm no particular fan of soccer. And I'm not terribly clear on the rules.

But isn't the point of soccer that unless you are a goal keeper you can't touch the ball with your hands?

So why is the event logo a hand clutching a soccer ball?

Or is that logo a soccer player faking grievous injury clutching his face in faux pain after a minor touch by an opponent?

Okay, now it makes sense.
