5/16/2002 [Extra] - Innocence Lost

Young Feyenoord Fan

Thought this picture might make an interesting parallel to some we've seen recently.

I'm always saddened by pictures of very young children showing that they're against something, whether it's by waving a banner in a march against GM foods, strapping fake explosives around their waists or this. A child's mind is a beautiful thing, wonderfully open and curious, and I think of it as a form of abuse when a parent lets their own flesh and blood get corrupted like this.

It's not as it should be.

For those not into football (or soccer, if you wish), this chap is wearing the colours of Feyenoord Rotterdam, who won the UEFA Cup this month, and it looks like the photo was taken at a match.
