Do yourself a favor and skip the first few paragraphs. The first part of this article is completely useless banter about alcohol and bar games.

This debate will continue to rage—or simmer, anyway. But those clamoring to win credibility for their favorite bar game might want to take cautionary note: one documentary suggests that the promotion from game to sport may not be all that it’s cracked up to be. Foos: History of American Foosball chronicles the rise to prominence (and fall from grace) of foosball, that ubiquitous tavern staple featuring little plastic men on sticks who spin wildly about in the pursuit of a miniaturized ball.
I’m not going to review the review. I just thought I’d let you know it’s out in cyberspace to be read.
