I grew up in Kenya, where my compatriots follow the English Premier League zealously, perhaps because of our colonial connection to England. Kenyans are so passionate about the Premier League that last year an Arsenal fan, Suleiman Omondi, hanged himself after his team lost to Manchester United.
我在肯尼亚长大，或许受前英国殖民地的历史影响，身边的同伴们都疯狂地追捧英超联赛，狂热程度之高，甚至导致一位名叫苏利曼·奥蒙蒂的阿森纳队球迷禁不住己队输给曼联的悲愤，用一根绳索结束了自己的生命。而就在今年，又有一名阿森纳球迷在海边城市拉姆一刀捅穿了另一个曼联球迷的腹部。
