Take last week's postponement of football matches in Britain as a mark of national mourning upon the death of the country's queen. Last Sunday's Premier League games of Manchester United-Leeds at Old Trafford and Liverpool-Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, along with Thursday's Europa Cup game of Arsenal-PSV Eindhoven at the Emirates Stadium, were called off. Nothing strange about that, I suppose, considering the rare collision of two hugely popular national institutions: football and Queen Elizabeth.
