He’s the eldest son. With all that I know about birth order, sexism, royalty, and inheritance; Rashid should be the heir. He should be ruling Dubai. But he’s not. What’s Rashid doing you ask? He’s a football star.
D oesn’t add up to much in the USA, but the rest of the world loves watching men kick that checker print ball around. Soccer, football, is the obsession of several countries: Again, not America. So he’s like a star there. It’s like … I dunno ….if Kobe or Tiger Woods were also president/vice president of the United States.
Americans elect one actor as president and one action hero to govern the 7th largest economy in the world and you got to run out and copy that? Come on people…?
Anyway, you are the eldest son of the ruler of a country. Your Dad can and will buy you anything you want; people do what you say…and you play football.
(Pause while that sinks in and you come to your own judgments and conclusions.)
In my mind, that reads Rashid bin Mohammed Al Maktoum is a Bad-Ass Motherfucker. Follow my logic for a moment
1. You are the eldest son of the hereditary ruler of a county.
2. Said ruler has a vast personal fortune and has actual power… he could put people in jail or kill them in the UAE.
3. You are to get all dat; Its going to be handed to you…and you say “Nah man. I wanna play soccer.”
Talk about balls: stone balls dipped in steel. I don’t know about your parents but mine are still telling me what to do. If I don’t; there is hell
to pay: Angry phone calls, long letters, and I never live it down. I’m still
hearing about sneakers I lost in 1987. (I was in 6th grade.)This dude says no to govern a country; his Dad, tradition, and plays soccer.
It’s the SHID! Shout!
The ‘Shid also has his own web presence: http://www.sh-rashid.net/. The “sh” is to remind you in case you forget: I a princely sheik muddafuckas!
