why the defensiveness about soccer? can't you just be happy that your big tourney is getting underway and enjoy it without ragging on people that don't enjoy it and find it boring? hell, i do counted cross-stitch and don't hold it against those that find it gay or boring!!! LOL! diff strokes, diff folks as the saying goes.
Who is being defensive? Every one comment that I get from the "soccer is ghey" crowd on this thread is one less on the World Cup Live thread . . . leaving the other fans in relative peace. I am being as offensive as I can get (pun intended).
Well, the same question can be asked to the other side. Why this endless haranguing over soccer? Not a post goes by without someone saying its gay or it sucks. Reminds me of the old Hamlet line:
Methinks thou protesteth too much.
I think what he, and I, mean is the following... People may not like soccer. Fine. You may think it is boring and gay. OK. You don't have to watch it. But the U.S. has a good chance to show its worth in a world wide sport. It wouldn't hurt anyone to just support America. Just be patriotic and support an America team or please be quiet. I personally don't care for many sports. But if the U.S. was invlolved in a world tournament then I would support them, yes, even cricket.
