The Game Becomes More Civilized

Synopsis

A contest between Yellow and Red: Two teams of eight players take the field and a lone referee officiates. Never before has the game been captured with such clarity, and never before, it might be argued, has the sport been demonstrated with such poise. What was once a raw and untidy spectacle of brutishness is now a deliberated exhibition of grace and simplicity. In short, the game has become more formally agreeable than ever before.
