To be deconstructed –
Because Derrida’s derision deems it so

Notes

It could be argued that football is the language of the masses.
And from my limited knowledge, Derrida’s philosophical musings
were directed at the composition of language.
Ergo the above attempt.

Dedicated to the memory of :

Jacques Derrida, professor of philosophy

born July 15, 1930
died October 8, 2004
