Besides being a rich metaphor for life, sports are society shapers. It's not by chance that team sports like football, rugby, and cricket are all British and were exported throughout their empire.

Además de ser una metáfora, los deportes moldean sociedades. No es casualidad que los deportes de equipo como el fútbol, el rugby y el cricket sean británicos y se exportaran con el imperio.

Sports, just like life, are meaningless. That’s why I love them. Sports are a metaphor.

The discipline needed to excel in sports illustrates the discipline needed to accomplish anything worthwhile in life. Sports teach us how to live with defeat. The joy of a win is just as fleeting as a good day's happiness. Dealing with the pain of an injury resembles the pain of a broken heart.

La disciplina para sobresalir en deportes es la misma que es necesaria para conseguir cualquier logro valioso. El deporte enseña a convivir con la derrota; la alegría de ganar es fugaz. El dolor de una lesión se parece al de un corazón roto.

Sports can help us reflect on things. The question of what is a game well played translates to what’s a life well lived.

El deporte nos hace reflexionar: qué es un buen partido equivale a preguntarse qué es una vida bien vivida.

In football, as in life, you can do all the “right” things and still lose. To win, you have to do what matters. In football, it's scoring goals. In life… well, I'll leave it up to you to decide what matters.

En fútbol y en la vida podés hacer todo “bien” y perder. Para ganar hay que hacer bien lo que importa. En fútbol es hacer goles. En la vida… decidilo vos.

The beauty of football is that you can have the best players, be the best defensive team, the best offensive team, have the most ball possession, the most shots on target, the best passing percentage, or all the other stats in your favor, but still lose the match. It's the perfect metaphor.

Lo bello del fútbol es que podés tener los mejores jugadores, la mejor defensa y ataque, mayor posesión de la pelota y más tiros al arco contrario, y aun así perder. Es la metáfora perfecta.

Why would our forefathers have been better than us at figuring out the best ideas of their time? Maybe they went with ideas became popular because they were easy to understand. Maybe it’s time to change our mentalities and go for ideas that are complex and don’t win the popularity contest.

¿Por qué nuestros antepasados serían mejores en elegir ideas? Tal vez eligieron lo popular porque era simple y fácil de entender. Quizá sea hora de cambiar mentalidades y optar por ideas complejas que no ganen el concurso de popularidad.
Las buenas ideas no ganan el concurso de popularidad

Maybe we’ve been moving forward following easy-to-understand ideas that a lot of people agreed with but were bad. Like the idea of a consumer society, based on infinite resources and happiness for sale, where all aspects of life are left to the market for an optimal outcome.

Maybe we’ve been moving forward following easy-to-understand ideas that a lot of people agreed with but were bad. Ideas like an anthropocentricity, spirituality through religion; passing down power and wealth through inheritance, the social contract, imperialism justified by racial superiority.

Tal vez avanzamos con ideas sencillas que muchos compartían pero eran malas: antropocentrismo, espiritualidad religiosa, herencia de poder y riqueza, contrato social, imperialismo justificado por supuesta superioridad racial.

There’ve always been bad ideas. In healthcare, bloodletting and mercury treatments were once accepted. To lose weight, we’ve come up with the tapeworm, and cigarette diets… Yikes! In policy, think about the war on drugs and the D.A.R.E. All bad ideas that were very popular.
