Soccer is getting bigger and bigger in the usa

Betting and viewing

[Naz18]

This sums up other countries hatred towards America perfectly. We're dumb because their culture is gay

You can have an opinion....that is different from being uninformed and ignorant.

[Pokerjoe]

mathy spot on here as usual

soccer is the gayest sport in the world.

actually pathetic that people watch this sh*t

Yeah, American football is so much less gay.

It's a game where beefy men grab each other and roll around together as much as they can, and where the action starts with one man bent over and another walking up to him and placing his hands on the bent over man's ass. All while pretending they aren't fags at heart and are playing the game for a reason other than the shower room later. Oh, and if they go in that shower and find a coach raping a boy, they don't hit the coach, they go see a higher level coach and ask "Hey, is it okay to have sex with boys? I thought we were only supposed to have sex with each other?"

Where the players are so dumb they have to be told what to do every. single. play. It has to be scripted and memorized in advance and they have to have a team meeting before each play so the least stupid one can say, "Uh, coach says, uh, go that way over there, uh, I think."

Where the fans are so dumb that they need to have the 7 minutes of actual action (that's about how much there is in a football game, btw) spread out over 3 or 4 hours, just so the dimwits can follow it.

Where replays have to be shown constantly so moron fans can say, "Wait, what happened? Okay, show it again, slower ... wait, what happened?"

Where parents feed their boys crap fast food and then tell them "It's good to be a fat turd in high school who'll end up with diabetes and bad knees for the rest of his life, because it will marginally increase our chance of winning one of the tens of thousands of games tonight, none of which anyone will care about later."

Oh, and where most games are decided by soccer players anyway, like in the BCS championship last night.

Soccer: for men who are sure they're men and don't mind playing a sport that women can also play because ... they like women.

US football: for men who have serious doubts about their sexuality and hope that if they just talk about football enough, everyone will think they're straight and no one will notice that they're obsessed with watching big beefy men grab each other and roll around together.




AND: I like football and soccer both, so I'm being deliberately unfair here just to show you soccer-hating fags that anyone can attack anyone else's sport. But for some reason, only US football fans attack soccer. No other fans of any other sports attack sports they don't follow. Why? Why are US football fans so insecure? It's very, very weird.

You know, it's really pathetic how SBR John and the rest of the staff here so completely embrace the racism, homophobia and anti-poor bigotry on this forum. And don't give us some BS about how SBR just supports freedom of speech. These threads could be shipped to the sub-forum designed for it.

This place is one step removed from stormfront. I will not post here further, because I don't want to contribute one little bit more to a site so morally repulsive. Yes, that gets filed in the department of "who gives a shit", but you something, bigots? Who gives a shit.

[Pauulzcappin]

well, at least you don't have a break every 3 fukking minutes like the nfl.

its probably just so americans can grab another slice of pizza off the fridge

[horja1]

California alone is wealthier than most countries in this list, combined.

You cant put the US and Luxemburg, Brunei or Iceland in the same basket. The differences are abysmal.

Could be ... but all of them have a better life than 90% of the californians ... and that's the abysmal difference

[horja1]

found this, pretty funny

Soccer is the most popular sport in the world for three very important and very social reasons:

1. The vast majority of the planet is (comparatively) poor. Not just poor, but dirt poor. So poor that clothes are a luxury. About half the planet lives this way, so it comes to pass that the most cherished form of social recreation is the one needing the least amount of upkeep, maintenance and investment. Soccer is the only sport in the world that needs next to nothing to play. All you need is a ball and, in some cases, not even that. Where a ball isn't available, use what's handy, like a sheep bladder, or a dog skull, or some rags wrapped together, so long as it can roll. And you can play it anywhere. In dirt, grass, gravel, any place where there is a flat surface, and hell, it's not really mandatory that the surface be completely flat. People will make-do with just about any locale. That makes it the most universal sport, accessible to every class, caste, and social status on the planet.
2. The vast majority of the planet is (comparatively) stupid. As a result, the form of recreation most appreciated is the one that's easily understood by everybody; a game so simple that you can explain it to a retard while standing on one foot. There is really only one rule: Don't use your hands. Everyone can learn that. Everyone can understand that. It's the one sport that easily crosses language and cultural boundaries due to its simplicity. If you were sent to a foreign planet with instructions to teach the aliens one earth game, without knowing anything about their language, customs or culture, the one game you could teach them is soccer. Just think how far you'd get trying to explain the rules of football or hockey to foreigners who don't understand your language. Soccer doesn't have this problem. It is the one sport that transcends language, culture, race, and intelligence.
3. The vast majority of the planet is (comparatively) untalented. Many sports require a certain level of coordination and an innate set of complex skills that need to be applied to enjoy them at an optimum level. Hitting a small flying ball, skating, throwing, tackling, catching. But anyone can kick a ball. Soccer is the one sport in the world that requires the lowest level of physical commitment to enjoy it on a personal level. It takes practically no time to learn how to play, and even less time to enjoy playing it. That makes it perfect for the most uncoordinated and unathletic people on the planet. It is perfect for the athletically optimal and sloven alike.

let me guess: that was written by a ... REDNECK

Liars liars liars.

You will NOT find 100s of video clips of any other pro athlete falling and holding his face in pain and then getting back up in 2 seconds and going at full speed again. It is only soccer, and yes it's the refs fault but ALSO THE FANS for saying "it's part of the game" instead of turning the TV off until it is fixed.

If this started to happen in football or hockey, fans would not say it's just "part of the game". If you dive in hockey your own teammates give you shit in the locker room.

[SportsPedagogy]

I swear to God you guys are pathetic. What is next ? Should we debate about what music is superior ? How about what colors are better ? I figure it would be fitting since most people in this thread already argue over preferences. Why don't we talk about who has the best family in this tread ? Seems fitting since everybody will defend their own just like everybody defends their own country... To each their own. Australians modified soccer as well. Who cares? People flop in all sports ... (see Miami heat)

that's part of almost all team sports ... fake contacts to get an advantage for your team ... you can see that better in NBA ... the difference is that in soccer you have to act a little harder to fool the referee, but I've seen some good "actors" in NBA also.

Indeed ... very dumb of me to try to explain something to someone who will just be on the opposite side no matter what ... are you in politics by any chance?

Fwiw, I don't really mind soccer. I can watch the World Cup and other soccer events until after the first round or two when the US or Denmark are knocked out. It's just fun to needle soccer fan because they blow up so easily. I find it boring as watching grass grow, but to each their own.

BTW, I thought German beer was stronger than 5%? ...and I live in the South, don't ever call me a Yank

Say anything stupid with ignorance and you will get a lot of comments...

[Ace_of_Spades]

LMAO, fellow posters. You cannot debate this, let the thread die. Soccer is too big to even try and debate.
