Two reasons to go back and read Saturday’s Boston Globe story about foosball

One is the mention of Pabst Blue Ribbon, which just keeps on being all kinds of cool.

The other, the bigger one, is that the story makes the point once again that fun sells. There’s nothing fancy about foosball. But, like ping pong and pool, foosball is enduringly popular. And the reasons for that are simple: Give people an excuse to get together, blow off some steam and enjoy themselves and you win. Works every single time.
