What's up with all the hate? I had a better time at the one sporting game I caught than any of the home chiefs games last year.

Why does soccer illicit such a strong reaction from non-soccer fans?

And I suppose he also sits you down at a computer, opens the thread and forces you to read it and angrily respond, too.

I read them for the same reason he starts them, because they fill up with hate and it's somewhat entertaining.

The jist: --People have been bludgeoned with the idea that soccer is the next big thing since the 70s. --Youth soccer in this country is a sport for people who don't like to play sports, as you can run around w/o being singled out for humiliation (save being a goalie) like you are in Little League, basketball, and other sports. --Our best athletes don't play soccer (somewhat circular, but nevertheless true). --Soccer fans. Like Apple fans, their obnoxiousness (perceived and real) turns more people against the product than the actual product itself. Similar example: I'm a huge golf fan, but you don't see me spamming the board whenever Missouri or Kansas natives do anything important on the PGA or other tours, or when a course in the area is about to host a large event. Instead, everything goes into the golf thread. Just like all Cardinal stuff goes in the Cardinal thread. Every time a turd plops from the ass of a SKC player, there's a thread on here about that, and it gets tiring.

I'm going to go check nascar.com and see if there are any stories that are too important to post in the NASCAR thread.

Soccer is just fantastic live. The best sporting event I've been to has been to and that was just for a friendly between the US and Mexico.
I've become a huge fan over the last 4 years.

--Non-soccer fans see a 1-0 game as boring, not exciting. --The flopping is ****ing ridiculous, and the fact that nothing is done about it is even more ridiculous. --Games ending in ties or on PK's? Make those ****ers play until a goal is scored - maybe they'll actually make more of an effort to score instead of sitting on the ball playing for a tie. --Injury time isn't shown to everyone watching. Shady. --America is apparently the only country in the world where the fans don't go 50 shades of batshit and make world news. Riots, fires, beheadings. Can't imagine why the game has an image problem to those in the states. I'm not a soccer fan in the slightest, but good for Sporting and good for KC. The town needs a ****ing winner to root for, and it seems as if ownership does everything first class. |
