Remember how I wrote a few days ago about how enthusiasm is really appealing, like the way Phish singer/guitarist Trey Anastasio was so passionate when playing as part of the Grateful Dead last week? I was reminded of that enthusiasm when I saw my friend Brent Nycz talk so excitedly about the U.S. women's soccer team, and their win in the Women's World Cup this week. Brent, of course, showed up at Friday's ticker tape parade. I asked him to write for the Squawkers on this subject, since he is so enthusiastic about it! Brent is also a special education teacher in a New York City elementary school, a fellow Yankee fan, and an all-around good guy.
From half-empty stadiums to the Canyon of Heroines: how did we get here?
