CHEATING—MOVING THE GOALPOSTS. This article from yesterday’s London Times describes how a goalkeeper has admitted to moving the goalposts closer together to make it harder for the opponents to score in important Swedish soccer games. He said he had gotten the tip from a goalkeeping friend a few years ago. He was “caught on camera kicking in both sides of his goal to reduce the target area slightly at the start of a crucial match in the All Sweden division, the equivalent of the English Premier League.” I am embarrassed to acknowledge that the goalkeeper is Danish.

Collectivism is fine, but even Pater Familias need not assume responsibility for Danish goal keepers, especially those crazy enough to play in Sweden.
