Bolivia's President Plays Soccer

Via the International Herald Tribune, we find Bolivian President Evo Morales logged 41 minutes of game time for Bolivian second division club Litoral.

While President Morales failed to score in his debut, the article does mention that he once played soccer in his younger days for a local coca farmers' team.

If Bolivia had our traditional media, the headlines today would read "PRESIDENT CAN'T SCORE" and the talking point would be "How can our President lead the country when he can't even score a goal? Our all star panel of people who have written about soccer but never played will now tell you what to think."

Wow

That's an awful lot of minutes for a red shirt. He had to be a red shirt, right?
