The 60-Year Old VP Of Suriname Lives Out The Dream - Makes Himself Captain Of The Soccer Club He Owns, Plays A Real Match

This is just every old dude's dream, including my own. If you're rich and powerful enough to own a team while ALSO being the Vice President of Suriname, you're going to make yourself captain of your own soccer team. Just a pretty basic move that is pretty close to the Jackie Moon playbook. Honestly, I want to see more owners do this. Give me John Mara out there, mostly so I can see him coming across the middle. Give me James Dolan trying to get a shot up. Let me see Peter Angelos try to get a couple hacks. I also know people will relate this to something like what Putin does with soccer. One slight problem here.

Dude's team lost 6-0. I can't imagine why. It seemed like they had everything going in their favor here. 

Here's what I want to know though. Ronnie Brunswijk is 60 years old. Why is he rocking another number in the 60s? Feel like he should just go ahead and wear 60 here. You're telling me 61 is his number? I don't think so. Nobody in the world has 61 as their favorite number. He doesn't even turn 61 until next March, makes no sense to wear it. Yeah, I thought it was 67 at first. Don't have stupid font on your shorts that makes me think that. That's on this team. Point still stands. 

This is truly the dream though. I don't even care about the Vice President part. If you own a team and you want to get some run, what better way than just crashing a game? Again, what are people going to say? Nothing. You pay their checks. You want to play up front, guess what? You're the new number 9. Love the disgust on his face when they are down 2-0 EARLY. Realizes he made a big mistake and probably was too winded to move. We've all been there. 

I'd say I want to see highlights - I keep trying to find some on Twitter - but this is all I can find. Frankly, I think most of what we'd see is a lot of this.

Now just watch some Jackie Moon, because we're all thinking it.
