Thanks to Jeffrey Polet over at Front Porch Republic.
But this isn’t as good as this classic from the BBC men who put sophistry into philosophy.

Socrates scores? Shoulda been Aristotle, who was more teleological, or “goal” oriented. He would have enjoyed the causation between the strike and all that followed.
The real reason Wittgenstein was came out of the game was his injury, though admittedly it was just a flesh wound.

There was no place for Hume on the team- I guess he was busy contemplating whether the cause of the movement of pool balls was an illusion. I thought it was funny that the first half of the soccer game was spent doing nothing but posturing. It took a while but the Greeks finally got it. You have to just laugh at it all. That is why I think Scottish Common Sense Realism is on to something that can restore sanity to philosophical reflection.

It was Neitzsche who finally acted up and out before the end of the half- he never dealt properly (in the words of one of his biographers and things he said in his own writings) with the death of his Lutheran Pastor father and brother during his chilhood (I think he was 7 or 8 years old) and the Lutheran congregation that his father Pastored at who left them (he, his mother and sister) high and dry without much money after his father death (he refused to receive or give sympathy to anyone after that experience- in his own words).
It was probably more than mere coincidence that Neitzsche was the one arguing with the officials (isn’t he the one who was beyond good and evil?).
