Footballer's Are Today's New Style Leaders?

“Footballers are today’s new style leaders,” says Giorgio Armani, commenting on “the relationship between soccer players and fashion,” in a June New York Times article by Eric Wilson.

Well, the unfortunate thing is that someone from the New York Times also thought so back in 2002 - just before the US' successful World Cup appearance.

Has fashion really changed this much in four years? Or was this photoshoot just put together by a "soccer is for sissies" person who rags on the sport for it's confusing "football is soccer and soccer is football" and even more confusing "1 point per score" theories.

Yikes!
