Mr. President, Soccer Player #
March 27th, 2008 | In Worth Knowing
I’ll leave the explanation to Foreign Policy’s Passport:
Evo Morales, Bolivia’s populist president, has signed up with a minor league soccer team in La Paz.
The 47-year-old will be a reserve player for the team Litoral, which hopes to earn a spot in Bolivia’s top professional league next year. Morales was once a standout player for a local cocoa grower’s team and as president, has been an outspoken critic of the worldwide ban against high-altitude soccer games.
