Sioux City College Plays Strange Foot and Ball Type Game


SIOUX CITY - Student athletes at Sioux City College spent close to two hours playing a strange football like game reported many confused onlookers.  Allen Perkins, head football coach at Sioux City College explained, "It was what you would expect football to be if everyone was a kicker.  I would say that I am more perplexed than anything else."

Sioux City College freshman Erin Dawkins told the newspaper that the game was unlike anything she had ever seen before, however it seemed to be very popular with the international students.  "It wasn't really for me," stated Dawkins, "but I suppose that if I had grown up in a country without television I would like watching people kick things around as well."

While the Sioux City College campus has met the game with mild amusement, the reception in the Sioux City community has been much less warm.  "This is exactly what is wrong with America today," stated local woman, Monica White, "a liberal college campus poisoning the minds of young adults with crazy anti-American games.  Americans play sports with their hands, not with their feet."

The game is set to be a major point of discussion during next Monday's city council meeting.  The meeting is open to the public and will begin at 6:00 PM at the City Hall.
