Hades/Amlan: Football or Soccer [Shuttles]

God of the underworld probes a Bostonian 'prince' (sports-writer/fan/citizen) of his IQ concerning soccer/football TV-Earth divisions of (simple!) jellyfish.

An Earth sports portrait for mythos/ethos. Happy Summer, all

HADES: I'm the god of underworld; you understand why I email you, prince?
MR. AMLAN SATAN: I'm a Slovak-Algerian Bostonian-Catholic and sports-writer.

HADES: That's why; you know 'soccer' is called 'football' outside America?

MR. AMLAN SATAN: Yes, and Super Bowl TV culture is USA; World Cup soccer, not.

HADES: World Cup TV-revenue is much capitalism mezzanines outside America, no?

MR. AMLAN SATAN: That's truth; in America, soccer is mostly a college-fanfare.

HADES: Isn't it ironic that the American national women's soccer team has trophies?

MR. AMLAN SATAN: Men's soccer is more pop-rich on Earth it seems; you're pensive!

HADES: In America, it's Super Bowl football-TV ad culture/revenue for capitalism.

MR. AMLAN SATAN: What do you want with me (Facebook-like)?

MR. AMLAN SATAN: I've written a story about an aspiring free-agent QB who wins.

HADES: Right, he moves from Detroit-city to sunny-Cali and wins a Lombardi, no?

MR. AMLAN SATAN: You read it?

HADES: Why men's soccer (or 'football' as it's called outside USA) not big-America?

MR. AMLAN SATAN: I dunno...NFL-football has simply become a more rich culture.

HADES: On any given Sunday from September to January, Americans watch on TV.

MR. AMLAN SATAN: I actually tune-into some Euro-soccer 'stuff' on cable-access.

HADES: Inspired your short-story about an American soccer star who moves to UK?

MR. AMLAN SATAN: It did...Facebook-like!

HADES: You've watched TV all your life, prince.

MR. AMLAN SATAN: You know everything about me, Hades.

HADES: As god of underworld, I take-stock of Earthling overground intelligence, ha.

MR. AMLAN SATAN: Unsure what I may answer for your question(s) in email now, sir.

HADES: Well, I want you to write a story about twins/brothers divided by sport.

MR. AMLAN SATAN: An art, "Brothers grow in TV-land and choose soccer/football."

HADES: Which twin/brother is the wiser (TV-like)?

MR. AMLAN SATAN: That's chess-stalemate excellence for midways-spirit(s), Hades.

HADES: Selfie-like (for leviathan/uncertainty)...good for fiction, surely (ha).

Amlan won the Pulitzer Prize for his cool image-tale of twins divided post migration to Europe, with one staying in the American Homeland to continue his college-football career as a Cali-QB, while the other became an Italy-league midfielder soccer (or 'football') star competing with heavy-handed challengers for the UEFA Champions League title streaming in from places as varied as Berlin and Moscow (wow). Of course, Hades, god of the underworld, wanted this searing Earthling 'overground' capitalism/customs TV-exchanges 'idea' of what made soccer/football divided across continents for revenue and sportsmanship windows (for the Ego). You might wonder, then, if Amlan Satan, Slovak-Algerian sports-writer of Boston-town (New England) suddenly found newfound world soccer (or 'football') fascination for things of Blue-Planet...jewelry (Facebook-like!).
