Representing your country on the national sporting stage is such an honor that athletes are primed for long stretches of time, sometimes from birth, to do so. The Barbadian soccer selection committee is just hoping for upright citizens because they don’t have any players to compete in the World Cup and CONCACAF qualifiers coming up. Apparently to be on the team, they just want you to be born in Barbados, upwardly mobile and if possible, drool less than two quarts a day. That’s what we’ve surmised from this ad they’ve placed on their website.
