It is because of this that I hate soccer.

This often comes from people going on and on about soccer while experiencing first hand soccer at a level not representative of the sports in its modern form in this country.

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.
