Neither is hockey.

I agree.

So what’s your point?

No real point. You post. I comment. That's how this thingie works.

If you're interested, I always notice when people post odd sporting news. I like diversity. I like knowing that there is a world out there that is not exactly like the world I inhabit every day. Europe and the 3rd world have their soccer, we Americans have our sports. Of course, there is the attitude of many American soccer fans, whose love of that game is a not-so-thinly-disguised contempt for stupid provincial Americans who are too dense to appreciate the beauty of the "world's most sport."

I guess I feel the same way about American's playing soccer as I do about my HS alma mater playing lacrosse.

I guess I can see where you are coming from. I never understood that mentality, but I know it’s there.

Baseball is, and always will be, my favorite sport. However I also think that soccer is a pretty good sport as well. Trust me, there are plenty of people who like soccer as a sport and not as a not-so-thinly-disguised contempt for America.
