Please define what you mean by illegitimate and capricious authority.

Bit rich considering the biggest nfl draft prospect is all over the news kissing his BF.

Oh, and they are photoshopped: no 3 is a bit of a internet legend, its a fake photo of two famous Manchester United players. And its a well known photoshop fake, which has been around for years.

If you had ever had kids in a soccer league, there would be no need to define nor explain anything.

The day by day officiating at those games was illegitimate and capricious, with referees often calling games in which close relatives were playing, or persons against whom they held personal grudges were coaching.

I eventually had to apologize to my kids for allowing them to experience that circus.

So your problem is with petty people, not the actual sport. Such nonsense culd have happened if you’d been at a football game, or a little league game, or softball, or basketball...........

Obviously any sport is what people make of it; a sport cannot think or act.

The ‘sport’ of soccer was introduced to this country to defile us, not to uplift us, specifically because it was another opportunity to force unjust authority on our children. The base culture of soccer has a solid vein of evil that is a part of it

Your contention that the same abuse could have happened at other games disregards the ingrained Godly culture we once had here, that shaped the culture of those sports. Being correct is a matter of deep pride to a baseball umpire, even if they do occasionally err.

Yeah, the Gaelic game is a pretty rough one… I’d also been watching some of the International Rules hybrid which incorporates elements of both Gaelic football & Aussie Rules – some of the test matches b/w Ireland and Australia were pretty “testy”, not surprising considering the participants ;)

In general, there are aspects of many forms of “Football” which can be appreciated although everyone has their favorites, IMHO.
