Tim Jahnigen had a vision for a soccer ball that would eliminate the need for the hand-sewn leather balls typically donated by relief agencies. But he needed some help to make it a reality.

    If you had actually gone to their website, and made a slight effort to find out what people who have purchased a ball had to say about it, you would have found out that nowhere in the actual ball is there a Chevrolet logo. Chevy was a founding partner, and they pledged to donate 1.5 million balls. How much have YOU donated to charity recently?

    Non-profit methods have been tested and still are. I have nothing against it, but I despise people who want to use the state's monopoly on violence to prohibit it.

    I doubt you could make a soccer ball for yourself without the proper resources, either.

    Also, do not assume they are not sent tools and proper irrigation so they can farm for themselves; they are.

    It's called soccer in North America, that's why Sting is saying it in this video for the USA. And actually the Brits were the first to call it soccer. You must be a Man U fan.
