World Cup Place High Value on Creativity

i can’t help but notice just how many references to creativity are being made by commentators at the world cup in south africa. for example — “he’s a striker who’s very creative, with a nose for the goal.” i wish that popular american sports like football, baseball and others were filled with more athletes who exemplified this trait. off the top of my head, i can point to football play calling like the wildcat as being creative. players are certainly not called out for it. it’s more about tradition and history than the new far too often.
