I think there is a lot of truth in your statement from one standpoint. When I was young “soccer” was a laughingstock. No kid ever admitted to liking soccer for fear of ridicule. It was a “pansy” sport.

The irony is back in the 70s, if you watched any soccer match, it was a rough game. Things that would get a straight red card today, weren't even called as fouls.

Ain’t that the truth, back when Pele played, now they’re a bunch of prancing fairies.
