All Hail the Foxes!
I know that this space is usually reserved for news and opinions concerning Manchester United, Sporting Kansas City, or the national teams (men and women) of the United States of America but I could not overlook one of the most remarkable underdog stories of my lifetime: Leicester City winning the Barclays Premier League.
As a sports fanatic, I enjoy three things: (1) my favorite clubs/teams winning, (2) my rival clubs/teams losing, and (3) a good underdog story. Of course, Leicester City's achievement falls into the category of a good fantastic underdog story because no one could have (or would have) predicted the club's achievement (unless you were a die-hard Leicester City supporter or a wild risk taker) at the start of the campaign. But Leicester City was able to overcome the odds and win the Premier League title through a combination of a lot of hard work and a bit of good luck. Of course, the pundits will say that this achievement is an aberration and that Leicester City's success was due to the faltering performances of the Premier League's "giants" and they could be correct but this does not diminish the Foxes' feat in any way. So, congratulations to the Foxes of Leicester City for demonstrating that a team of cast offs and no names can overcome the odds and win the Premier League (enjoy the pizza and Vegas vacation)!
