LOL, and everytime I see someone getting on the "soccer players are gay" bandwagon, I can't help thinking that it's someone who lost his girlfriend to one.

That's the second inane half of the non-sequitur "you should like soccer because soccer players get the chicks" argument. Of course, as night follows day, "soccer players get chicks" is always followed by "if you don't like soccer, you must have been beaten out at (name any activity in life) by a soccer player."

Soccerfan needs to understand...we don't like soccer because we find it boring/inane/pointless/senseless.

What's your next argument, that folks who don't like rock n roll must have been outplayed at something or another by a musician? Those of us who find poker on tv must have lost their shirt in Las Vegas at some point? I can't play basketball...should that make me dislike it? Lots of people don't care for bowling...is it because they got outsmarted by a bowler? I can't stand NASCAR...trust me, it has nothing to do with any personal experiences with NASCAR drivers. Enough with the pre-teen argument that says "you simply have a case of sour grapes against a player, that's why you don't like ________"

The original non-sequitur is "soccer is gay." That's the comment that spawns the others. You do see that, don't you?
