Stories of The Order - Football

The Sovereign Order of Monte Cristo are still in charge of the world but would like to be entertained just like us. They get bored too but I’m pretty sure they are not sports fanatics. But around 1876 they came up with a marvelous idea they were going to let Walter Camp invent a new sport called football.

He got the idea from William Ebb Ellis who got the idea from the Monte Cristo members of the Order, the people who create everything. The Order really doesn’t care too much about sports it’s just that everyone got so tired and fed up of Rugby so the people of that time stopped attending Rugby games and started becoming so bored that the people who were around that time started finding other things to do in their spare time and that included the tracking down of conspiracies. Some of the most intelligent townspeople in 1876 figured out part of the conspiracy of Alexander Graham Bell and his telephone patent that was filed on February 14th, 1876.

The problem with his patent was that he did not describe the telephone in his application and he titled it “Improvements in Telegraphy” without ever mentioning the word telephone. Before the town’s smart Alec could figure out that Elisha Gray filed the same day as Bell and had mentioned the fact that he was the first to invent the telephone, one of the faithful members of the Order decided that he should popularize football so he went back and told the other members.

They all came to a decision that they should get society to watch the football games to get the townspeople’s mind off of the Order’s little conspiracy trick. The Order is very good at making observations but they did not know that football was a sport that stuck throughout the years and into today. Now they’d like for you to watch college football and look away from the news.

  1. Come to think of it! Football is a mania. It needs no popularizing. It has a life of its own.Ask the English fans, they'll tell you so! Nicely HGW
