I mean noobs get destroyed for not knowing intricate almost crazy details of the Chiefs...their history...their style of play...and the qualities of each and every player.

Soccer haters often work off assumptions that don't even come close to that level of detail. It is usually the soccer version of thinking each team gets 5 downs in football.

I agree the way some soccer fans come off isn't the way I like to come off and I can find it obnoxious but if you think its unique to soccer fans its not. Also, I have seen these threads play out...lets just agree that it probably didn't start by some soccer guy going elitist out of nowhere...people love poking that bear.

I'm not going to lie, I started the thread and "poked that bear". But the key point is I started a thread for anyone who shared my dislike of the sport. I did not go jumping in on the World Cup thread and bothering those who were getting off on it. If someone didn't like my take on the game they could have ignored it as I ignored their thread and left it to me and the other soccer haters. But is that what they did? Oh hell no. They got all defensive, and then offensive like I had gone trolling on a soccer board.
