Soccer, a game which in my opinion, might, with profit, have been reserved for girls

'There are three sports played in this area at this time of year,' Platt said. 'One is soccer, a game which in my opinion, might, with profit, have been reserved for girls; one is rugby league, which is played very largely by people for money; and the third is rugby union, a fair and equitable game, played at our oldest universities as well as by all our major public schools. It is a game conceived by and therefore, quite naturally, played by gentlemen[.]
