Field of Hockey

A diorama-tale of sports-culture and the 'arrows' of preferences drawing us into the social-media 'aura' of headmasters.

A sports-culture 'examination' inspired (loosely) by A League of Their Own (Penny Marshall).

Amlan Satan was writing about the Olympics in the summer of 2023 when he thought about the social-media appeal of the Dutch field-hockey team and how field-hockey resembled ice-hockey, which was much more popular in the United States, when compared to sports outside the American Homeland, and therefore drew in more 'nerdists' of sports-writing (hmm).

He decided to use a special series of fortune-themed images from media/movies/social-media to create a mosaic of superstition-oriented competition-class examinations linking ice-hockey to field-hockey and why the two sports, one more popular inside the United States than outside, were potentially comparable in a 'cool' examination of the quality of competition-chess history (wow).

Amlan Satan decided to compare the greatness of particular men's field-hockey events of the Summer Olympics in this cyber-writeup and focused on the training/ambitions of the Dutch men's field-hockey team, recounting how his own American public high-school in South Jersey boasted/toasted a rather 'exuberant' (and nationally-ranked!) field-hockey team (Vikings). This helped the sports/Olympics writer create a rather cool 'board-tale' concerning the geometric ties between local/global sports and ice-hockey/field-hockey honor(s).

AMLAN SATAN: "Imagine a social-media context in which two brothers, both cheering for the Olympics, but one more intrigued by the Winter Games, are divided in the proverbial Homeland concerning which 'field of hockey' sport (ice-hockey or field-hockey) captures the greater media-culture 'flowery' of celebration-oriented superstitions of competition, drawing the two brothers towards a 'tombstone' difference concerning a special summer-concert featuring a media-figurine of 'highness' proportion(s)."

What would be achieved by this Olympics-storywriting for this 'Earth-prince' of social-media culture and sportsmanship-chess examinations that summer of 2023? Amlan Satan made himself a nice chess-cake cookie platter for himself and his cyber-pals in New England (Boston) and prepared to evaluate which sport which would make which seasonal Olympics shine brighter --- ice-hockey...or field-hockey.

AMLAN SATAN: Sports is all about hospitality, and the 'field of hockey' is all about home (ha).
