What is a Nutmeg?

Why is a spice used in a sports term?

I’m often asked why I chose the name of a spice for my soccer company.


1. Origins

. Nutmeg is originally from Indonesia.
. Nutmeg was incredibly difficult to get & expensive.
. People would snort it ..Why?
It can have hallucinogenic properties.
(DON”T TRY IT, please)

Nutmeg's rarity drove prices sky-high. It was said to be worth more than its weight in gold.

2. Trickery and Deceit

. Nutmeg was a highly valuable commodity.
. Traders deceived buyers by mixing in inferior nutmeg or manipulating its weight and quality.
. This practice gave the idea of "nutmeg" symbolizing deception or trickery.

3. Where Does Soccer Come in?

. A nutmeg in soccer or in sports is when:
. A player outsmarts their opponent by slipping the ball between their legs.
. Similar to how traders once outwitted buyers with deceptive practices.

It’s considered a show of skill, often used to embarrass or outwit an opponent.
