I have been exposed to the Rastafarian culture for all of my life. I have African and Caribbean roots, my aunt married my uncle who hails from Port Au Prince Haiti. I have been introduced to so many different cultures as a child and even now I have cousins who calls me Rasta girl and that one cousin that is the seed of my aunt and my Haitian uncle that calls me rude girl. As a child I noticed that my cousins and uncles played soccer at each of our gatherings. As I got older they stopped playing and just continued to watch it on TV and attend soccer games. My favorite Bob Marley who is a prominent figure in the Rastafarian culture played soccer a lot. What is it with the Rasta and the ball?
Could it be a way of redemption? Could it be apart of the Jamaican recreation? Or could it just be a sport they take pride in?
