Fiddling while Rome burns?

I don't understand this story. Why invest all this time and money into the Homeless World Cup of Soccer when maybe that money and effort could go into getting these people off the streets?

A different brand of World Cup fever will hit Winnipeg this weekend.

But instead of highly paid elite soccer stars, the teams are made up of homeless men.

Players from Calgary and Toronto will be in the city on Saturday on a quest for a berth in the Homeless World Cup.

Forty-eight countries will compete in the international tournament Sept. 23-30 in Cape Town, South Africa.

Winnipeg is hosting the Canadian qualifying matches starting on Saturday. Sixteen players from the Calgary and Toronto teams will compete for eight spots on the Canadian Homeless National Team. To qualify for the team, players must have been homeless in the last year.

The organizers call it "hugely empowering" for the players. I have to just shake my head.
