        Why is there an age limit on   Paris  Olympic Men's soccer?   
      
             ...   Given that switch, FIFA, world soccer's governing body,   
   put various barriers in place for players competing in the Olympics,   
   which it didn't want to possibly usurp the World Cup as the premier   
   international soccer showcase. One of those measures was an age   
   restriction.   
      
      
              -- [Given that switch,]  --- is a lame, poor way   
                      to start a paragraph  or  sentence.   
      
      
              -- in this sniped...   [put]   is also  poor.
