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 would never post on/read a soccer thread, but this title intrigued me. i only harangue when invited : )
It's not unique to soccer though. Every sports thread has somebody come on just to say something stupid and insulting about it. Don't know why, when I see a thread about a sport I don't like I keep scrolling, but there's a major crowd in this world that thinks the world must know which sports they don't like and why (and the why is generally shallow, because of course they don't know enough about the sport to have a good reason to not like it).
