You know it’s a boring sport when you can go have dinner, wash the dishes, go brush the pool and dump some chlorine in it, feed the cats, and come back and feel as if you had put the TV on pause, and the game just automatically continued from where you had left it.
It’s part of the program of “internationalizing” Americans.
Sports, as well as all types of cultural aspects, like food, music, fashion, art, etc., are always used by the elites in long-term subtle societal manipulation schemes.
Jazz was used to get other countries to like American after WWII. Sports, Hollywood, music, etc., figures are thought of as “ambassadors” of culture.
The only difference is now instead of trying to sneak into the hearts and minds of other nations to get them to like America, they’re trying to sneak into the minds of Americans to get them to think of themselves as “citizens of the world” as opposed to citizens of America.
Give up your “nationalistic” sports, go with the “global” sports, that’s the message.
I have no use for soccar, never have, never will.

“you’ll recognize some of the movements you have seen in the game.”
I hated it in Jr. High PE. Seemed like all you did was run around and then you get the ball and pass it and then you run around some more.
One funny thing: One day I forgot my gym shoes so they made me wear my regular shoes while playing.They were wing tips with the big bumpers for soles. I missed a kick and nailed a guy right in the shin with them. Then, the next year in high school I wolloped the ball with a good kick. An opposing player at that moment fell right in front of me and it nailed him square in the face, about three feet from the kick. It was the same guy.
Sadly, this same guy (who married one of the girls in our school) became a Washington State Patrol motorcycle officer and during a high speed chase around the turn of the century was killed on or near the I-90 floating bridge.
But I think I’m a bit off topic...
Basketball and baseball are “global” sports.
I have not seen the Olympics in decades and Only saw part of a World Cup match a week ago because we were in an irish pub...
Yeah, look at all those "Globalist" soccer fans waving UN Flags.
It’s not part of some great plot. People just want to make money. Nobody spends so much to be a sports fan as an American, so naturally FIFA wants an American audience. No great conspiracy, just responsible business actions on the normal business quest for cash.
I don’t watch soccer because it sucks.
Watching soccer on the mobile device is so much better.
In what foreign countries will the NFL play this upcoming season?
Did an adult write this article? Seriously. Reads like it was written for fifth graders.
sweet post!
sweeter post!
Never thought of that. Good idea.
1. Red cards for diving. And if 3 players on any 1 team get red-carded this way in 1 game, that team forfeits the match. Problem solved.
2. Fewer players? Or restrict their placement, like in the NBA, so you can’t have 20 guys blocking every shot on goal. That should help scoring.
3. Ref’s watch is remote-synched to a giant stadium clock; when he pauses, so does the clock. No more guessing about how much time is left.
4. Need some kind of “TV timeout” for people to use the bathroom, etc. 90 minutes straight is brutal for fans watching.
And let the players use their hands!
Stole it from the other guy in the cc list here
In the NFL, the ball & players go out of bounds way too much, and cause unnecessary delays of the game. I think that going out of bounds is a coward’s way to avoid getting hit (especially by the Quarterbacks), and rewards a team with an easy time-out. Maybe they should erect large walls on the sidelines outdoors, like they have in Arena football ;?
And speaking of “foot”, there’s too much of that in the American game as it is Besides, kicking something is an unmanly activity (unless you’re talking about Extreme Fighting or Martial arts) the fact that we still have it is an anachronism from the game’s foreign roots in Europe that’s needs to be eliminated. No one’s going to miss these wussy kickers taking up a roster spot, or those big “forks” on the field that just get in the way of the action. H*ll, the NFL is trying to get rid of kickoffs now anyway.
