I hear ya!
As a soccer fan, I’m astounded by the ignorance of the sport that Americans have. It also makes it easier for me to root against “Team USA” whenever they play miserably against a third tier team like Trindad & Tobago.
I think most FReepers are cheap beer can drinking, couch-sitting blowhards well over the hill who cannot even fathom a sport being more popular than gridiron American football. That mentality is quickly fading away with the younger and more impatient youth that is filling up soccer stadiums. Try making them watch a 4 hour American football game?
And I second your opinion of Baseball. To each his own.
This article is pure rubbish, made up by somebody who just wants to invent more crap to try to make Trump look bad.
...it’s also seemingly curious, those that hate soccer love baseball. They don’t go to the *packed* bars during the world cup and witness their national team being supported - seeing the red, white, and blue everywhere. Besides ice hockey, there’s no other team sport that gets such support across this country, most American sports only have the support of people for a certain city - then declare themselves “world champions”.
A short attention span is nothing to brag about.
