The article discusses the announcement of the Lions team lineup, noting that the event was subdued and lacked the controversy typically expected from such a selection. Rather than generating excitement, the event felt like an attempt to build drama which ultimately fell flat, indicative of a broader trend in sports where expectations might not meet reality. This contrasted sharply with other worldwide events, highlighting the difference in perceived significance and emotional investment.
In the end, the only outrageous thing about this Lions selection was that there was no outrage.
No need for white smoke in London where the Lions went with a live show to announce their squad, playing for time to inject some drama.
There was more drama in the Vatican where a 40/1 long shot was elected Pope.
...and then delivering a squad that delivered very little.
